Publication number: 20070151463Abstract: A toaster for heating foodstuffs includes a chassis having a cavity therein and having at least one chassis opening for accessing the cavity. A door is movable with respect to the chassis between a closed position in which the door substantially covers the chassis opening, and an open position in which the cavity is accessible through the chassis opening. A carriage with at least one slot movable between a first position disposed completely within the cavity and a second position extending at least partially from the cavity through the chassis opening. The toaster has a heating configuration in which the carriage is in the first position and the door is in the closed position to confine the foodstuff being heated and create a generally enclosed chamber within the cavity in which heat and moisture loss is controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2007Publication date: July 5, 2007Applicant: HAMILTON BEACH/PROCTOR-SILEX, INC.Inventors: William Starr, Nhiem Nguyen, Terry Myers, Paul Blankenship, Adam Steinman
