Reese Witherspoon Champions an Italian Design-Icon Toaster With 1950s Roots – and It Belongs in Every Modern Kitchen
This toaster has stood on the chicest countertops since the '50s, and Reese has just reminded me why
If anyone can make a humble kitchen appliance feel intentional, it is Reese Witherspoon.
Known for her chic yet approachable style, the Legally Blonde actress has a way of choosing pieces that balance practicality with personality (I've written about her Nespresso coffee maker and gooseneck kettle in the last six months alone).
Smeg's four-slice toaster features two long, extra-wide bread slots to toast everything from baguettes to artisan sourdoughs. It features six browning levels, allowing you to achieve the perfect level for your tastes. Plus, if you’re partial to a bagel, or even cheese on toast, the bagel function browns just one side of the bread without toasting the other.
Reese could have her pick of any of the best toasters on the market, but our kitchen appliances editor, Chiana Dickson, understands the actress's choice.
'Smeg toasters, like all appliances from this brand, are adored for their retro-chic appeal,' Chiana notes. 'So it’s no shock Reese went for one that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. She’s iconic for her taste, and her immaculate kitchen countertops only reinforce it.'
She continues: 'Beyond style, the toaster delivers serious functionality. With multi-function controls for reheating, defrosting, or unfreezing frozen slices, it’s perfect for any bread moment. And for those of us who love a lopsided sourdough, the two extra-wide slots mean you can toast practically anything, no matter the shape or size.'
