Cuisinart has always been a name I could trust for kitchen appliances.  When we needed a new four slice toaster, we chose the Cuisinart.  The packaging showed a special setting for bagels.  I was ecstatic!  I love how our old toaster would only toast the inside of a bagel while leaving the outside alone.  I was duped on this toaster!  I come to find out that though it claims a special bagel setting in the picture, the only thing that activating the bagel setting does is cook for more time.  That is so stupid since I could get the bagel to cook for more time by simply changing the time dial from 3 to 4.  I am really going to miss the toasted inside without the outside being burnt.
