Toaster - toaster (English spelling)

Japanese: トースター - とーすたー(英語表記)toaster
Toaster - toaster (English spelling)

An electric toast toaster. There are various types, including the pop-up type, where the bread pops up when it is done toasting, the turnover type, where the bread is flipped over by opening and closing the side lid, and the walking type, which has an automatic feeder. The most commonly used pop-up type has two bread slots on the top, and three heating elements are attached to either side of the slots, allowing two slices of bread to be toasted simultaneously on both sides. This type generally works by setting the desired toasting level in advance with a dial, and when the desired toasting level is reached, an automatic device (either a timer or a bimetal system) causes the bread to pop up and the electrical circuit to turn off. It consumes around 600 to 800 watts of power. The types, performance, structure, and labeling are regulated by the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards).

Toaster oven

As eating habits change, toaster ovens, which can be thought of as oven-type toasters, are rapidly becoming more popular. Compared to conventional toasters that could only toast sliced ​​bread, toaster ovens are more versatile and can be used to make simple oven dishes such as pizza-style toast, which is made by toasting bread with cheese and other toppings, irregular breads (such as hamburgers), and gratin. The oven is box-shaped, with heating elements at the top and bottom, and a grill for the food to be cooked placed between them. They generally have a chime that notifies you when the food is done and a timer switch that turns off the power.

トーストを焼く電気器具。種類としては、焼き上がるとパンが飛び上がるポップアップ型、側蓋(がわぶた)を開閉することでパンの表裏を反転して焼くターンオーバー型、自動送り装置をもったウォーキング型などがある。もっとも多く使われているポップアップ型は、上面にパン投入口が二つあり、これを両側から挟むように取り付けられた三枚の発熱体で二枚のパンの両面を同時に焼くことができる。またこの方式は、あらかじめ好みの焼けぐあいにダイヤルなどであわせておくと、自動装置(タイマー方式とバイメタル方式がある)により、その状態になるとパンが飛び上がり、電気回路も同時に切れる方式が一般的である。消費電力は600~800ワット程度。JIS(ジス)(日本工業規格)により種類・性能・構造・表示等が規定されている。

オーブントースター

食生活の変化に伴い、トースターのオーブン型ともいえるオーブントースターoven toasterが急速に普及している。切った食パンしか焼けなかった従来のトースターに比べ、パンの上にチーズなどの具(ぐ)をのせて焼くピザ風トーストや変形パン(ハンバーガーなど)、グラタンなど簡単なオーブン料理ができ用途が広い。箱状のオーブン室内の上下に発熱体があり、この間に調理物をのせる焼き網を置く構造になっている。調理のできあがりをチャイムで知らせ、電源を切るタイムスイッチがついているのが一般的である。
