This is the ruling of the poskim, and their reasoning is that it is not considered a utensil for meals, since the bread placed in the toaster is already fit for consumption, it only slightly improves the taste, and the main rule of immersing utensils applies to meal utensils in which one eats, or that make food fit for consumption, and this is already fit. There are those who disagree.
Therefore, due to doubt, immerse it without a blessing.
