I distinctly remember wanting a glass toaster. That way, I could see how my toast is doing. Burnt toast? Never again. Also, hours of entertainment over the years of watching toast, well, toast.
Today, I learned of a miraculous thing. A glass toaster. Meet Noun.
This is the Noun. It toasts well. It is clear. I assume you sometimes need to clean it out a little to have the perfect window to your toast. But guess what? So many things make up for that.
It's not just toast you can have with this toaster. Yes, ladies and gentlemen and everyone else out there, it cooks basically anything. If you can put it inside the toaster, inside a heat-resistant bag, it can cook it.
It was made by Clemente Bugatti and he demonstrated its amazing-ness at the EuroCucina in Milan by cooking shrimp and a steak. It took his company two years to develop the technology for the toaster, technology that nobody had ever used on an appliance such as the toaster before.
And it only costs... $1000? Shoot. Well, everyone can go on home now.
Watch this video of the toaster in action. Read about it here and here.
UPDATE: Noun is not the only glass toaster out there, apparently. There is also a Magimix glass toaster, the Magimix Vision Toaster. This one is still pretty expensive, though, at $249.95.
Also, there is a Kalorik glass toaster which you can get on Amazon for $99.99. Much cheaper than the other glass toasters out there, but still expensive for a toaster. There are mixed reviews on Amazon. A lot of people praise this toaster as wonderful, but others say it cooks drastically uneven. These critical reviewers say that the side of the toaster with the window (only one side has glass on this toaster) reaches a good shade of gold-brown, but the other side – the side you cannot see – will be burnt to a crisp.
