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."

      Very few people slice their own bread today. Rather, it typically comes presliced from the store.

  6. Infrared Beams? by Hays · · Score: 4, Insightful

    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?

    I wonder if you could use the beam from the Super Toaster to blind pilots of passing planes....

    If you have that kind of money to throw away, you can afford your own French Chef, preferably one who's female and walks around in her underwear. What is WITH the Japanese anyway?
