For those of you who burn your fingers trying to get an English Muffin or similar small object from your toaster, we've come across an answer. There are toasters available with a second lever that allows the item to be raised higher. One such is made by T-Fall. The two slice version runs around $39.00 and the four slice one around $59.00 They're available from the Penney's catalog and I'm sure from Wal-Mart and other sources. Just be aware there is an answer out there.
Just recently we've learned that many of the new toasters incorporate this convenient feature. In many of them the same lever you depress to start the toaster now lifts up higher than the point it normally returns to. Just put your finger under it and check to see if it lifts higher.
