ABSTRACT:
A toaster (10) for toasting bagels, muffins, bread slices and other similar foodstuff (18 and 126), where the foodstuff (18 and 126) is inserted within an access opening (14) in the top of the toaster (10) onto a holding rack (186, 188), and the toasted foodstuff (18, 126) is then automatically exited through an exit opening (26) located in the bottom area of the toaster (10). Associated with the exit opening (26) is a planar member (30) which has a work surface (28) upon which the toasted foodstuff (18, 126) is to be deposited. The planar member (30) is to be pivotally mounted on the toaster housing (12) to move between a stowage position and a usage position. A safety protected foodstuff cutter (36) is mounted on the toaster housing (12) with this foodstuff cutter (36) to be operable to divide certain foodstuff (18, 126) into two pieces to facilitate its toasting operation. A novel mechanism is included within the toaster (10) to achieve the toasting operation.
