The Toaster is a device on Earth reknowned for its ability to make the popular breakfast food served with butter, jelly, eggs, or other confection. Toasters come in two, four, or even six-slot models.

A Cylon Centurion, which technically cannot make toast, but is known for toasting Colonies.

The laudable term is also used as the nickname that the Colonials have for the Cylons, due to the fact that the original models resembled "walking chrome toasters" because of their highly reflective metal bodies (Miniseries). Number Six and Helo have both expressed that they consider "Toaster" to be an offensive racial epithet (Resistance, Flight of the Phoenix).

The reference implies that toasting bread and other foods was just as enjoyable on the Twelve Colonies as on Earth.

Ironically enough, it was the use of a toaster to make breakfast that drew the Cylon "toasters" attention to Helo's fallout shelter. (You Can't Go Home Again)

It can also be said that the Colonials enjoyed the act of shopping for toasters. CAG Lee Adama enthusiastically made a point about shopping for toasters on battlestar Galactica, after the electricity (an important element for any toaster) went haywire (Valley of Darkness).

It should also be noted that a few elite model toasters have been known to communicate by sending or receiving "waves."
