Toasted

Having spent some time in hotels lately, I know how difficult it is to get a decent piece of toast at breakfast. Either the toast is too dark, or too light (and putting it through again just dries it out), stuck to the toaster, or hard to get out without a pair of very long tongs and a keen sense of bravado (that would be you Pat). But there could yet be hope. Breville has released the Smart Toaster, with LEDs "which literally sense when your toast is cooked to perfection" - or ... in other words ... done the way you like it. So how does it work? According to one site I visited in search of details: "the LEDs ... count down the moments until your toast is done. This bread browner also boasts a button that raises the carriage midcycle — no more interrupting the cooking process just to check for char." I've been trying to visit Breville's site for further details but can't get it to open in my phone's browser!
