The rectangular, open-sided appliance has a horizontal top and base and a movable, vertical, metal bread holder on each side, with exposed heating elements in the center which extend from side to side and top to base. Each openwork bread holder can be pulled outward by a small black knob and flipped to toast the other side. The heating elements are three flat, mica panels supported by inner metal strips and wrapped with thin metal conductors. There is a small metal and black plastic stationary handle at each end and two electrical prongs centered near the base on one side.
