The kitchen is a place where multitasking reigns supreme. Foodies and busy home cooks love a tool or appliance that can do more than one thing at a time, making multitool gadgets and appliances a welcome addition. A pressure cooker/slow cooker combo is a great example. Panini press meets waffle maker is another. That’s because, as anyone who’s ever hosted a party will tell you, when things are happening in the kitchen, timing is absolutely everything. Not only that, multiuse tools can take up less space, giving you back precious real estate in your kitchen workspace. And who doesn’t need a little more space in the kitchen?
While you might not have necessarily thought the humble toaster needed a makeover, it’s here with a glow-up anyway. We found over half a dozen toasters that deliver more than just warmed bread to your liking, with creative solutions for companion products within the same device — like multipurpose ovens and air fryers, and toasters with built-in egg cookers. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift for a special foodie in your life or could use some innovation in your own home kitchen, these innovative home toasters do a whole lot more than just toast.
Ninja Double Oven
While this one is admittedly not just a toaster, you can absolutely toast some bread in it.

Created with meal preppers, multitaskers, and picky eaters in mind, this all-in-one takes only a bit more room than a standard toaster oven, with a ton of more versatility. Eliminate back-to-back cooking and save loads of time.
Balmuda The Toaster
This innovative toaster is just a toaster, but don’t worry — it offers a whole lot more than just average toast, delivering the aroma and classic texture of freshly baked bread with unique steam technology and precision temperature control.

Tovala Smart Oven

It has a QR scanner for scanning your favorite grocery products — simply scan the item, and the Tovala cooks it perfectly! Available at Tovala.com and Amazon.
