Oh! Super Toaster!

Posted by michael on from the toast-is-no-laughing-matter dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Japanese company Neutral KK has developed a Super Toaster. Not only does it toast your bread with infrared beams, it actually slices the loaf of bread for you. For a price tag of around $10,000US, that makes it about the most expensive toaster in the world."

    Call me uninformed, but don't ALL toasters use infrared beams? Heat some high resistance metal up with electrical current, blackbody radiation puts its peak output in the infrared range?

    Yep. $10k goes a long way to buying an awful lot of fresh baked bread. You could probably even swing a Bread Maker;-)

    Doesn't *every* toaster use infrared beams to toast bread?

    If you have the kind of money to throw away on a Hummer, you can afford your own buggy and driver, preferably a driver who's female and drives around in her underwear. What is WITH the Americans anyway?
