Black & Decker TR1400SB 4-Slice Stainless-Steel Toaster for $35.99

Housed in brushed stainless steel with black accents, this high-quality toaster not only looks good on the kitchen counter, but it also toasts bread to perfection--and up to four slices at a time. The unit's extra-wide, self-centering slots can accommodate a variety of items, including bagels, buns, English muffins, and thick slices of homemade bread. For added convenience, its two separate independent electronic controls make it possible to use only one side or the other, or to toast two individual orders simultaneously like bread on one side and waffles on the other--great when trying to get the family out the door in the morning.
