Winner of Red Dot and iF Product Design awards. The iconic Japanese Toaster.
Since 2015, creating the perfect toast has been our passion and our obsession. Simple or fancy. Classic or creative. All your favorite toasts are masterfully crafted to perfection. BALMUDA The Toaster is our love letter to every toast lover in the world.
What makes BALMUDA The Toaster unique is the five cc of water poured in at the beginning of each toast. Heating more rapidly than air, the steam locks in the bread's inner moisture before the surface is given a golden brown finish. This process draws out the delicious aroma and flavor unlike any other.
Sandwich Bread Mode
This mode is ideal for everyday thin-sliced bread and English muffins. It delivers a delicious contrast between a crisp exterior and a moist interior. Adjust the timer to obtain the desired level of golden finish.
Artisan Bread Mode
This high-temperature toasting mode is designed to bring out the full texture and aroma of artisan bread. It delivers a crisp surface while preserving the bread’s interior elasticity. Even moist bakery bread takes on a toasted hue, just as if it had been dry-fried by a chef.
Pizza Mode
Pizza is notoriously the most problematic dish to reheat, so we created a setting specially designed for it. By toasting more strongly from above than below, this mode is ideal for bread that requires a crispy base with melted toppings. Bagels also shine in this mode, as they will toast to a golden surface while maintaining their chewy texture.
Pastry Mode
Designed to emulate a baker’s oven, this mode reproduces the flavor, texture, and moisture that could once only be experienced with freshly baked bread. Buttery croissants become warm and crisp without burning. Heated baguettes remain light and airy on the inside with a wonderfully crunchy outside. Rolls come out piping hot -- even in the center.

Wonder if you can put in a small mini over proof cup .
Put mini cup in tweenies you 2 or 4 toast in you piw warmer (9l sunbeam oven mini).
Silicon mini cup? Water in it would evaporative, and soften bread, then when empty, that's normally.
The water is released in top center, you put mini cup in centre bottom at front, the oven will still steam first, then once out water it toast.
Don't know if steam is bad for normal oven?
But you get some steam, depending on what you cook in it.
