"toasters" news and stories

I know what you're thinking: "toast? How many ways can there to make toast?"

Answer: a lot.

It's still morning and you might want to make something to go along with your coffe or tea, so check out Dr. Toast's Amazing World of Toast. It's a blog filled with great recipes that use toast, including Cinnamon Toast, Beans and Toast, White House Apple Toast, Mushrooms Over Toast, and even something called Toast Espresso, which sounds...well, you make it and let us know how it tastes.

Really fun site. It even has a section on toasters, and you can ask Dr. Toast questions.

The simplest thing to make for breakfast (not including cereal, since there's no real "cooking" there), is toast. Even if you're using plain old Wonder white, slipping it into a toaster, letting it bronze, then watching it pop out onto a plate, a toaster makes breakfast even the tiniest bit more special.

But! Now it gets even better with fancy toasters. Forget about the silver Oster that's sitting on your counter. Manufacturers and kitchen product designers are getting into toasters, with everything from the design on the outside, to accessories that allow you to "tattoo" your toast, to a concept toaster that's made of glass. Click through on each toaster to see what it's about.

It is still a concept that is being developed, but when the idea is fully realized, I would love to have one of these transparent toasters, you know, to sit right alongside my Hello Kitty toaster that makes Hello Kitty Pop-tarts.

The idea is based on transparent heating glass which currently does not get hot enough to toast bread, but will some day soon, so that you can watch your bread being toasted and snag it out of there before it gets too dark!
