I paid more than $100.00 for a Cuisinart toaster and it is a JOKE! Toasts TOTALLY unevenly! VERY FRUSTRATING since we use it all the time. The toaster is the most used item in my kitchen. Used 1 - 2 times a day by each my hubby and I. Please help! Standing and watching it does no good as it still does nothing about evenness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587346.post-23981365169563872702012-03-04T11:06:24.196-06:002012-03-04T11:06:24.196-06:00Yikes!
