I love how wide the slots are for making bagels in this Black and Decker 2 slice toaster. The bagels fit very well so I don't have to try to jam them a regular size slotted toaster. It works great for making toast, also. My bagels and toast turn out just the way I like every time. I love the look of the black Stainless steel. It looks great in my kitchen. I would recommend this to my friends and family.
