toasters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kitchen accessories' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'distributed at stores' is the wordplay.
'distributed' is an anagram indicator.
'at'+'stores'='atstores'
'atstores' with letters rearranged gives 'TOASTERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toasters that I've seen before include "Bread grillers" , "Appliances for browning bread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
