Abstract: A heatable kitchen device such as a toaster has a housing having an outer wall and an inner wall (114), a heating area within the housing for receiving foodstuff to be heated, a heating element located between the heating area and the inner wall (114), a bracket (140) mounted to the inner wall (114) adjacent the heating area. The bracket (140) has a seat (142) located opposite the inner wall (114). The seat receives a sensor assembly (150) and has a first aperture and a second aperture through the bracket (140) to the seat (142). The first aperture has an area and the second aperture has an area, and the inner wall (114) has an opening (148) that is larger than the combined areas of the first and second apertures to allow the sensor assembly (150) to detect a property of the foodstuff.
