Weird Gizmo: Transparent Toaster
Watch as your bread burns to a crisp!
Tuesday, September 4, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
One appliance that just hasn't kept up with the times is the toaster. Sure, you'd think that there wasn't much you could improve on such a device outside of it having a setting that manages to not reduce a slice of bread to a sheet of charcoal, but you'd be wrong! In today's high-speed world, where we demand that our gizmos look as good as possible, giving our kitchens that futuristic look we all so desire.
To that end, we bring you the Transparent Toaster. Using two pieces of transparent heating glass, you will be able to watch your toast as it burns. No more guessing if that slice of bread has crossed the instant threshold between "untoasted" and "carbon", now you can see it happen.
Interested in getting your hands on one? Well, right now it's a concept device and not yet available for sale. The site Inventables has all the details though if you're interested in the idea, as well as other strange gadgets that might be on the horizon.

WHY? Ugh!
I'd love to be able to see how toasted my toast was before it burned. One piece of toast at a time would be painful though.

Unfortunately after looking at the toaster than reading 2of3's reply, there's a picture in my mind that I'm not going to be able to get rid of!

Sorry to put you all off! Not only was I not able to edit, the post was duplicated by some glitch....
I was referring to when I was little, some older kids told me that they sold see-through toilets a P&C (pee and see). Remember being disappointed when I found it not true!
That toaster obviously has per pixel frames

You'll need magic pink lemonade to wash down your toast

Too true! Or perhaps a cup of tea with added transparency and blur.
