♥ Classic Harts Love Dualit Toasters D ualit know how we like our toast in the morning: perfectly crisp and from a design classic. Originally invented by company founder Max Gore-Barten for use in commercial kitchens in 1945, Dualit’s toasters are an enduring icon. Actually, make that a near indestructible icon – a recent competition to find the oldest working Dualit was won by a toaster of 1973 vintage! Hand-built in the UK since the 1950s (you’ll find the assembler’s personal mark on the base), their replaceable parts mean a toaster that will last a lifetime. Not that their patented ProHeat elements are going anywhere. Pretty much armour-plated, they are virtually unbreakable and make hotter toast than the competition. While admiring Dualit’s distinctive, endearingly robust appearance, don’t underestimate how well this gleaming chrome kitchen classic works. Instead of sensors and fancy settings, the simple mechanical timer gives a reassuring count down to breakfast time. Dualit are not ones for undignified popping-up first thing in the morning. The simple lever instead lets you raise your bread enough to see if it’s been transformed into toast. It’s indicative of a kitchen classic that doesn’t just heat bread, it helps make your mornings calm, ordered and delicious.
