1. An appliance (5) for toasting a product (10), comprising:
- heating means (17),control means (11) for controlling the heating means,timing means (14) to provide time control of the control means,detection means (12) for detecting variations of a toasting condition of the product during toasting and for supplying at least one control signal which activates the timing means when at least one toasting condition threshold is reached, characterized in that the detection means (12) comprise a temperature sensor (13) which measures a temperature of the product, the detection means comprising a first comparison means (27d) for supplying a first control signal (Sd) which starts the timing means when the temperature of the product is higher than a predetermined temperature (Td) which defines a first toasting condition threshold.

Abstract
An appliance (5) for toasting a product (10) comprises detection means (12) for detecting variations of a toasting condition of the product during toasting and for allowing a user to adjust the toasting result as desired. The appliance comprises a temperature sensor (13) which measures the temperature of the product. Timing means (14) are started when a predetermined temperature (Td) is reached. The timing means (14) are stopped when either another predetermined temperature (Tf) is reached or when a predetermined period has elapsed. The appliance is also capable of controlling a process of defrosting of the product prior to toasting of said product.
