To plant for kitchen use (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toaster

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

'kitchen use' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'to plant' is the wordplay.
'plant' becomes 'aster' (aster is a kind of plant).
'to'+'aster'='TOASTER'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toaster that I've seen before include "wedding present?" , "Machine for making brown bread?" , "Man speaking up at table" , "In the morning, this device used" , "something in kitchen" .)

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