January 21, 2008: Transparent Toaster

Clodfobble · 01-21-2008, 11:33 AM

The inventors of this little device claim it will make burnt toast a thing of the past. The glass itself is the heating element, so the toasting is more even, as well as completely visible to the discerning toast connoisseur. A traditional timer is also included for those who are too busy to watch their toast brown. On the other hand, those people also might be too rushed to have to cook their toast one piece at a time...

One half of a bagel at a time, hmmmmm

I believe it's a concept, they haven't been able to make work yet. The glass doesn't get hot enough to toast the bread, but they are still working on it.

Maybe it's shopped

That looks like a cool invention, but I bet it's expensive...I don't have that kind of bread.

New meaning to 'Do Not Touch the Glass'
How do you get the toast out?

bbro · 01-21-2008, 02:53 PM

One of these?

I would totally buy that toaster, though

Welcome to the cellar JD! I was thinking the same thing - How do you get the bread out and what happens when it gets a lil dirty in between the glass? Thats gotta be a PITA to clean.
