Bread clamping mechanism and toaster

The invention discloses a bread clamping mechanism and a toaster. The bread clamping mechanism is used for the toaster. The bread clamping mechanism comprises a lateral plate, a bread bracket, a first clamping net rack and a second clamping net rack arranged at two sides of the bread bracket, and a trigger mechanism arranged on the lateral plate; a guide groove is opened in the lateral plate, and the bread bracket is arranged in the guide groove in a sliding mode; the bread bracket is capable of touching the trigger mechanism when moving along the guide groove so as to enable the trigger mechanism to push the first clamping net rack and second clamping net rack to move in parallel towards the bread bracket to clamp the bread. The bread clamping mechanism and toaster have beneficial effects that the bread bracket is capable of touching the trigger mechanism when moving along the guide groove so as to enable the trigger mechanism to push the first clamping net rack and second clamping net rack to move in parallel towards the bread bracket, and the first clamping net rack and second clamping net rack uniformly clamp the bread to improve the bread roasting uniformity.
