Commercial Bun Toasters
A bun toaster is an invaluable addition to delis, burger joints, or any other establishment serving warm sandwiches, toast, or bagels. A commercial bun toaster toasts multiple slices of bread at once, turning out finished product faster than a traditional pop-up toaster can.
Elevate the taste and presentation of burgers or rapidly churn out browned bagels ready for cream cheese with a bun toaster. Designed for high-volume, fast-paced operations needing to quickly serve a large number of customers, a bun toaster machine can prepare hundreds of slices of bread each hour compared to pop-up toasters that handle only two or four slices of bread at a time. Models typically feature two or three lanes and one- or two-sided toasting capabilities, depending on the needs of the operation.
While the stated pass-thru times of many models of hamburger bun toaster are 10 seconds, this time is largely determined by the desired level of browning. This level is adjustable by changing the temperature or pass-thru time settings; for example, if a light toast is desired, then the burger bun toaster can quickly pass slices of bread through the unit, whereas darker toasting takes longer to achieve. The largest and most efficient units, which tend to come at a higher price point, are capable of producing over 2,000 slices of toast per hour.
Some bun toasters include special features, such as an automatic butter spreader. This mechanism evenly spreads butter over bread as it passes through the unit, saving valuable time for cooks in fast-paced environments. For thicker slices of bread, such as Texas toast or larger bagels and buns, some commercial bun toasters feature a wider feeder. Find models with either manual or electronic controls to perfectly customize your toast service.
