The Bodum Bistro Toaster Might Actually Bounce

Bodum's double-walled glasses are a personal favorite, and their French press is a solid buy, too. But this rubber-skinned toaster? More »

Happy 100th Birthday To The Toaster

The internet loves the toaster. Why? Because it makes toast...which reminds us of breakfast...which reminds us of bacon. So, it is only fitting that we wish it well on its 100th birthday. More »

10 Toasters of the Future

All we really want out of life is toasty perfection: Crispy but chewy, brown and beautiful. Despite the super glossy designs, it surprises me how much the future of toast works just like now. [Yanko]

VHS Toaster Eats Breakfast, Not Tapes

There are mods and there are Mods. And the VHS Toaster definitely fits into the capitalized category. (Read on for video.) More »

The Toaster that Longed to Be a VCR

While most of our homes resemble some '60s sci-fi TV show, adorned in A/V equipment loaded to the gills with LEDs, our kitchens have remained sadly tasteful. That was, until this Jacob Jensen toaster. More »

Vader Toaster is Most Awesome Bread-Branding Device Yet

You are weak, Cylon. *scary breathing effect* And if you need a cheery morning note on your breakfast food you do not know the power of the Dark Side. Leave this to me, I will deal with the toast myself, even if the crust is strong with this one. *scary breathing effect, again* Buy this toaster for $55 and today will be a day long remembered. [Nerd Approved]

Designer Breakfast Wares Turn Your Morning Routine Into a Game

Designer Ivo Vos has assembled in "The Brunch" a routine-ruining set of kitchen accessories. It really reminds you to never take anything for granted, if you assume "anything" to mean "toast" and "coffee." We've seen a projectile toaster before, but it was more of a tool of force than of precision toastmanship. Some of the other concepts in the gallery at the source link seem an awful lot like obsessive compulsive tools (a saw box for bread?) but I wouldn't kick any of them out of my kitchen. [Yanko]

V-Line Toaster and Induction Cooker Makes a High-Tech Breakfast

It kind of looks like a laptop if you ask me, but the V-Line toaster concept from designer Thibault Masclet is actually a toaster and an induction cooker all-in-one. It incorporates glass like other toaster concepts, but the induction cooker on the flipside is a new one on me. To be honest, I would prefer a griddle, but if you have something in a pot that needs heating or you simply want to keep your toast warm—it could come in quite handy. Whether it will ever become a real world product remains to be seen. [TrendsNow via The Design Blog]

Concept Toast-Dropping Toaster is Real After All: The Trapdoor Toaster

We gave the Nahamer T450 toaster concept design a big thumbs-up for its simplicity... but it turns out that there's actually a real toast-dropping versus toast-popping machine. The Trapdoor Toaster does exactly what it sounds like it does. It's a 1400W device, with auto-adjusting guide racks so it can do toast, bagels or pop-tart-style food. You simply slide in your food, and when it's done it slips out the bottom, and elegantly onto your plate. Out now for $79.95. [Hammacher Schlemmer]

Battlestar Galactica Toaster Brands Your Bread With a Cylon

I love Battlestar Galactica and I also love the tasty, whole grain wheatyness of toast. But alas, I cannot live out my dream of combining my two loves into a single product. Wait one second...now I can, thanks to this limited edition $65 toaster from the Sci-Fi Channel! Each Battlestar Galactica branded toaster burns those Cylons up good. As the product page notes: "These Cylons are toast!" Ha Ha Ha...eh... [NBC Universal Store via Slashfilm via Likecool]

BBG Perfect Gadget List Shows That Tech Can't Improve Everything

BBG has done an impressive thing: It came up with a list of 10 perfect gadgets, unchanged by time or tech. No need to build the better mousetrap, because the tried and true mousetrap made the list. So did the wristwatch, the toilet and scissors. I don't agree with the inclusion of the toaster (I prefer a toaster oven), and I can't figure out how they left off the fork (unchanged since the Bible), but it's a good read. Hit the link and let us know of any gadgets that are MORE perfect. [BBG]

The "Moaster" is the Highest Popping Toaster in the World

You know how sometimes your toast doesn't quite pop out of the toaster fully? And because your judgment is a little impaired that early in the morning, you decide to jam a fork in there to dig it out only to be electrocuted and rushed to the hospital? Sure, we have all been there. However, Freddie Yauner, the dude behind "The Moaster," will not have to worry about that anytime soon because he has set the record for the "highest popping in toaster the world" according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Breville ikon Combines Tea and Toast (into Teast)

I doubt that it's all that more space efficient to combine kitchen gadgets, but it can certainly save you a few precious counter plugs. The ikon by Breville combines your toaster with a kettle, the perfect breakfast machine for when your visiting friends from overseas ask for something other than your trademark Egg McMuffin on a plate. At $130, it's the same price as Breville's LED-gauged standalone toaster. So before dropping any cash, decide if it's more important for you to have hot water or a kitchen that glows as unnaturally bright as your entertainment center. [product via Techfresh]

LG Mates Microwave and Toaster, Creates FrankenMicroToaster

I need this. It's a microwave with a built-in toaster, combining two of the three appliances I actually use into a single smorgasbord of food-warming convenience, perfect for my munchkin-sized counter. The other is a George Forman-esque grill—all other electric kitchenwares are frivolous and silly. In fact, if LG could somehow convert the top of this mutant puppy into one, or bolt a steak toaster onto the other side, this would be the most harmonious kitchen appliance ever, the true kitchen in a box. I'm waiting. [core77]

Fagor Flat Toaster Makes Me Question Everything

At Giz, we're in the habit of introducing new products every day, and in the world of gadgetry, specialty kitchen products are a dime a dozen. Today, though, I was taken by surprise by the simplest of inventions: a flat, barbecue-style toaster. When I spotted the Fagor TP-2006 X (with "acoustic warning device") on Appliancist today, not only did the form of it surprise me, but—after a little Googling—so did the fact that the flat toaster is not a new concept: More »

Wall-Mounted Zuse Toaster Turns—and Burns—Bread into Art

Who needs paintings when you have a Zuse? Attach the chrome toaster to the wall, feed a slice of bread through the slot and then, rather like an old-fashioned matrix printer, your toast comes out with a pixellated design burnt on the front, thanks to a library of images saved on its memory chip. The idea comes from Austrian design house Inseq, and it's concept-only, I'm afraid. [ALBOTAS]

Swarovski-Studded Toaster Just Makes Bread Brown, Not Glittery

Latest in the line of humble gadgets to get the shiny Swarovski treatment is this toaster: a limited-edition Russell Hobbs number, with over 200 of those tiny crystals decorating its skin. While it won't do anything clever like turbo-toast your morning snack, or burn a message into it, if you like gazing at a little bit of luxury as you huddle over your breakfast coffee then this is your $300 baby. Apart from all the glitter, this is just a normal 18" wide single-slot toaster in glass and stainless steel with variable browning, a crumb tray, extra-lift handle and so on. But it is a limited edition: only 500 available. More »

Magnetic Toaster Tongs Protect Fingers

Getting toast out of your toaster without lighting your fingers (or eyes, if you turn it upside down and shake it like we do) on fire is difficult. With these magnetic toaster tongs, you can reach in and grab your toast, then stick the tongs back on the side of your toaster when you're done. Sure, wooden tongs means they may actually light on fire too, but...uh...whatever! [Shop Catching Fireflies via Damn I Like that via Uber Review]

Toaster and Bento Box PCs Make Working Lunches Easier

Those wizards from the T-Zone PC DIY Shop in Japan have been showing off two of their latest PC mods. One has been built in a toaster, the other in a lunch box. The original idea was to have the liquid crystal display popping up from the toaster, but they were unable to manage it. Nevertheless, we can't complain about the results. More »

Not only does this concept toaster toast your bread in one pass, there's a convenient shelving mechanism to catch hot bread as well. It "works" by passing the bread through with three rollers to the toasting mechanism at the end.

Breville iKon CT75XL Toaster: Lifty Looky, and It's Right Tidy

Even toasters are getting in on the purdy design act, and this four-slice model, the Breville iKon CT75XL, lets you "lift and look" at the bread to see how well it's done without resetting the timer. It also has swank-looking backlit LCD controls, and is made of what the company calls "quadruple-pressed hand-brushed" stainless steel. More »

Siemens FA Porsche Toaster

Toasters may not be the most gadgety product around, but we sure do love it when companies design awesome toasters.This toaster from electronics manufacturer, Siemens, is no different. It comes in brushed aluminum. In addition to looking sweet, this Porsche Toaster also has a memory system that remembers how you like your toast. Unfortunately, it carries a very hefty price tag of $221. – Travis Hudson More »

Radio Toaster

I am a man that loves his toast browned evenly, no burnt edges. The one thing severely plaguing my toaster experiences is the dead silence, as I sit and wait on the toast, butter in hand, saliva pooling in my mouth. Well somebody out there in the electronics manufacturing world really loves me and has created the gadget to answer all of the mysteries in this world. This is a toaster with a radio built right into it! Unfortunately it only supports FM. If only this baby had satellite radio, I think I would probably marry it. More »
