Toast in 50 Seconds

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

The modern toaster takes an average of 141 seconds to make toast.  I personally like to make use of this time to close my eyes, breathe deeply of the gently wafting aroma, perhaps compose a new toast haiku or two.  But if you’re the busy high-powered executive type for whom an extra 90 seconds means just enough time to cancel the office Christmas party or to fire an underperforming subordinate or two, this Turbo Toaster boasts toast in under a minute by blowing superheated air onto that bewildered slice from two directions at once.  Then you can gobble down your toast and conquer the world!  Huzzah!

Breakfast wonderland
Clouds of steam rising frozen
From hot buttered toast
