He proposes health of kitchen appliance! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toaster

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

'kitchen appliance' is the definition.
(toaster is a type of kitchen appliance)

'he proposes health' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'health' could be 'toast' (I've seen this before) and 'toast' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toaster that I've seen before include "At store (anag.)" , "something in kitchen" , "Bread griller" , "one that suggests health" , "wedding present?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
