# the transparent toaster has been invented


' The new concept glass toaster, which lets you see your bread as it browns, is from product developer Inventables.

The idea is based on transparent heating glass technology and the idea is that the glass heats up enough to toast the bread.

It means people can keep their eye on their breakfast and eject the slice at the moment it turns the perfect colour.

This would eradicate the need to put the bread back down and run the risk of having to scrape burnt toast.

However, a traditional timer dial is still incorporated into the design, for people who are too busy to keep an eye on their bread.

A downside to the current design is that it only fits one piece of bread at a time.'

they can make glass hair straighteners that allow you to see your hair straightening.

Just thought I'd point that out. Hope it helps.

# It looks pretty cool
but trying to convince me I should buy one in case I'm too fucking stupid to just leave my toaster on the setting which I already know works, just puts me off. Bloody marketing men.

# My toaster (that I barely use for the aforementioned reason)
does as it bloody well pleases, sod the setting. Sometimes 2 is 4, sometimes it's 1.5, sometimes the defrost setting will give you just about 3.....

# There's a fairly major sticking point mentioned on the actual Inventables website.
I'll give you a clue, it starts with "Although the glass does not currently get hot enough to..."
