I was in my late twenties when I learned that the numbers on a toaster are simply time and not degrees of toastiness.

Which is why if the toaster is already hot when you put in a fresh slice of bread, that time will give you extra toastiness vs the same time starting with a cold toaster.

Some smarter toasters apparently have compensation for this.

How much could a toaster be, $200?

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just bought a toaster oven for $99 + tax.

I don't know how smart it is yet, because it's only toasted once.

How does one become 2025-04-09 years old? What does that feel like?

[-] KayLeadfoot@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago

Terrible, I do not recommend it.

[-] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

That isn't always true! Some toasters have sensors to detect how dark the bread is.

... but most just use timers :(

ICE are using the same tech

What a find! Will watch that properly later.
