ELI5: Can radiant heat also be incandescent heat?

I know toasters use incandescense to toast the bread, but other websites say that toasters use radiant heat. Which one is it? Can it be both? Please explain! 

Thanks!

Radiant heat is heat applied over a distance by radiation, such as infrared as compared to direct contact.

Incandescent heat is generated by heating something, generally a metal filament, hot enough that it glows. This generates radiant heat; all incandescent heat is radiant heat, but not all radiant heat is generated via incandescence.
