Next time you are bringing lunch to work, you can bring along this amazing portable hand-held toaster. Just this Wednesday, the Telegraph had an article explaining that the device is in its preliminary stages and should be available in shops in Britain at the end of the year. The concept was created by Korean designer Kim Been.

What appears to be a ceramic cake slice, is actually a device that spreads heat created thanks to nanotechnology. You know when the bread is toasted because heat-sensitive illustrations of vines and butterflies appear and multiply as the bread becomes browner. It takes two to three minutes to toast the bread. The only setback is that only one side can be toasted at a time.

This portable ceramic bread iron will be perfect for campers. As Daily Mail states, "You need never burn your toast in the office canteen again thanks to the invention of the world's first portable toaster." This portable device actually contains highly-durable CarbonNano tubes that will not over-heat and will protect users from any skin burns. The cost of this device has not been announced. Depending on when it comes out, this could be a great gift for the holiday season.

I am a celiac -- can't eat gluten or anything contaminated by gluten. I'd use this because if I brought my own gluten-free bread somewhere, I'd risk contaminating it by using a public toaster that had toasted regular bread. By having my own dedicated personal toaster, that wouldn't be an issue.

You know, as much as I hate to admit it -- I'd like to have one. I like almost all bread heated/toasted for sandwiches or snacking, and we're not allowed to have toasters at my office. People set toast on fire as often as they do popcorn, and the frequent trips by the fire guys to turn off the alarms resulted in stiff fines, so all the toasters were banned and the popcorn is not allowed. I miss a warm slice of toast and cheese at 3:00 pm

Who has time to hold a "knife" to a piece of bread for 2-3 minutes per side?
