Are you ready to find out everything awaiting you after unboxing your brand-new Cuisinart CPT-2400P1 Bakery Artisan Bread Toaster? Worry not; that’s exactly what I hope to shed light on using today’s detailed guide.
To ensure that this guide was as in-depth as possible, I started it going online and learning everything I could about the unit, then subsequently bought the unit itself so I could take it through a series of personal tests. Some of the areas I ensured the unit passed in before creating the guide include durability, sturdiness, reliability, toasting speed, aesthetics, and more.
What more are we waiting for? Let’s dive right in and review the Cuisinart CPT-2400P1 Bakery Artisan Bread Toaster.
Cuisinart CPT-2400P1 Bakery Artisan Bread Toaster Review
I had this unit on my kitchen counter for two weeks after taking it through all my test sessions, and in that time, I really got to see its sturdiness in action. I have three kids in my home (as well as a clumsy husband), and even though all of them knocked the toaster off the kitchen counter countless times during this 2-week period, that didn’t affect its ability to deliver even one bit.
Eventually, I gifted it to my nephew, who was leaving for college. That was more than a year ago, and when I reached out to him three weeks ago, he pointed out that the unit still performed just as it did when I gave it to him in the first place. That proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Cuisinart CPT-2400P1 Bakery Artisan Bread Toaster is one of the sturdiest toasters out there.
You’ll also love that this unit has been fitted with 1500 watts of power, which practically allows it to handle anything a regular home throws in it. That explains why the unit I had was able to prepare toasties for more than 20 people I had in my house at one time.
Speaking of the unit’s toasting ability, its slots have been fitted with a self-centering system. When you place slices in the slots, this self-centering system arranges the slices such that they’re perfectly next to the heating elements, which, in turn, ensures even and perfect toasting.
If the people in your household have vastly varying tastes when it comes to how they want their slices toasted, the 6-shade setting should come in handy. Use the side-to-side lever (as shown in the product’s image above) to adjust among the different shade settings.
Other settings fitted into this unit to improve its ability to deliver include the toast, bagel, reheat, defrost, and cancel settings. The bagel setting will only turn on the heating elements on one side of the toaster so it will toast the cut side of your bagels. This unit did it so well that all my bagels came out crusty on the outsides but soft and warm on the insides.
When your meals are ready to serve, use the chrome housing with a High-lift lever to safely retrieve them without encountering the iron on the slots (it gets excessively hot during operations.)
