Left the toaster oven unplugged again.

Story of my life.

Throw in the bread, set the timer, putter around, hear the *ding*, go over with plate and butter ready only to discover cold, white bread.

The "timer" is mechanical, operates like a wind up kitchen timer, and is independent of the power source, although does contain the switching that turns my toaster oven off and on.

I got the cheapest toaster oven on the shelf.

It does what it's supposed to, but not any more than that.

(I love the Hello Kitty Toaster, and the only thing that kept me from getting one when my last toaster died was that the cheap-ass toaster oven was 1/2 the price. I also must admit that I have done-ness of toast issues, and while cute, the Hello Kitty Toaster leaves a lot of white on the bread. I have the waffle iron, so my kitchen is Hello Kittied.)
