My Kitchen Aid toaster has one long wide slot, touted as a two slice
toaster but will toast three slices... has a defrost function... will
defrost and toast two uncut bagels or three regular sized slices of
packaged bread. I have it about 20 years and it still works great. I
don't know if it's still available... I bought it from Chef's Catalog,
I think it cost $69 which seemed pricy back then, it was available in
like 5 colors, mine is white. I use this for toasting extra long
slices all the time:
