I was in my late twenties when I learned that the numbers on a toaster are simply time and not degrees of toastiness.

Which is why if the toaster is already hot when you put in a fresh slice of bread, that time will give you extra toastiness vs the same time starting with a cold toaster.

Some smarter toasters apparently have compensation for this.

How much could a toaster be, $200?

I just bought a toaster oven for $99 + tax.

I don't know how smart it is yet, because it's only toasted once.
