Your toaster, like mine, is probably jammed somewhere between an electric kettle and a blender. The only visible parts are the filthy, crumb-caked slot and the handle which starts the mysterious browning process as it plunges the raw, naked bread into the hot slit. You have likely never adjusted the timer since the day you bought it, relying instead on yanking the toast as the edges start to char and burn. What you need, my toast-abusing friend, is this $350 machine from Magimix.
The Vision Toaster deserves to be taken out from its dark corner and proudly displayed. If not, you've kind of wasted your money, as the Vision is a hot-box with glass sides that let you see its inner workings. It will fit two slices of soft American pap at one time (or four slices of tasty baguette, as the sales page proudly shows) and let you see the Maillard reaction as it occurs, in exciting real-time.
The Vision has buttons for toast, bagels (one-side only), reheating and defrosting, all of which could easily be replaced by the one timer-dial in the center. The glass sides flip down for cleaning, and there is a slide-out crumb-tray for you to ignore.
Available now, from Williams Sonoma. Or you could just keep your existing toaster, drop in 350 bucks, set to high and walk away.
