Hamilton Beach 22121 Smart-Toast 2-Slice Toaster

Toast bread has been a vital source of life for over two thousand years. This easy-to-use Hamilton Beach 22121 Smart-Toast 2-Slice Toaster is a product that extends the tradition of toast toward a simple culinary experience. The Word toast comes from the Latin Torrere, Tostum - to scorch or burn. Toast was originally used as a method of preserving bread. Soldiers at war would be given scorched bread - almost like a cracker - to make sure that the bread was palatable and a source for nourishment while marching and dwelling from one place to another. Unlike the loaf-like breads that developed in Europe, earlier breads were flat - similar to the traditional breads found in Macedonia, Babylon, Egypt, and Judaea.
As the leavening process was discovered and practiced, around the 17th century, loaf like breads began to develop. Old breads were typically fried and are the likely origins of French Toast.
Hamilton Beach has been a leader in the development of electric toasters in the United States. The Hamilton Beach Smart-Toast 22121 2-Slice Toaster offers a quick, easy, adjustable method to toast breads, muffins, rolls, pop-tarts, and frozen waffles.
