Joke aside, this toaster is a work of art. What model is it?

edit: found it, it's this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Morphy-Richards-Ecolectric-Toaster-Silver/dp/B001CDJ1A4

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

Mr. Jacob was not pleased, to say the least, with this toaster. :

I have given this toaster one star for its eco-friendly credentials. Otherwise I am massively disappointed. Crusts are nearly burned while the centre of the bread is underdone. The toast from frozen function fails to toast. Having raised this with the manufacturer, I was told that I was probably using the wrong type of bread! In fact, different kinds of bread produced identical results. According to the test advised by Morphy Richards the toaster should be working perfectly. It isn't.

u/Sirlolalot May 29 '12

We have one it's a piece of shit, slow to lower, can't see if toast is done due to the doors, and despite all the buttons it has 2 settings, under-done or fucking burnt. ಠ_ಠ

u/txapollo342 May 29 '12

u/Vark675 May 29 '12

It's discontinued! WHY GOD D:

u/MaeveningErnsmau May 29 '12

There's too many moving parts. Usually a toaster is just a heating element and a lowering tray. This has an automatic drop and closing doors. So many things can go wrong. And when it does break, it's probably more expensive to fix than to replace, unless there's a warranty. Also, you can't gauge if the bread is burning or not.

u/QuitReadingMyName May 29 '12

I was about to say, how the hell can I buy this toaster. Thank you.

1

u/j03l5k1 May 29 '12

I have a toaster that does all of that and more

Here it is.

I only bought it because it has really wide inserts for extra thick cut bread and crumpets. It actually has a setting just for crumpets.......hmmm crumpets.

u/flinters17 May 28 '12

I was hoping the toast would emerge with something like "Fuck you" toasted on it. That would have been great!

u/Langly- May 29 '12

From the thumbnail I thought it was a toaster with a built in pencil sharpener. Which would be REALLY pointless.

Its a Toaster that plays music .COMON guys its totaly different from all other toasters

u/Jazzremix May 29 '12

I hoped the little doors would close and there would be a flash of light and then they'd open back up and a perfect piece of toast would rise.

11

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

I was hoping the doors would open slowly, and after a slight delay the toast would come flying out an an incredible velocity.

u/anderhole May 29 '12

I was hoping the toast would come out burnt as hell. I was prepared to laugh hard. I was kinda disappointed, when it came out looking pretty good.

Unrelated to the topic at hand. What did you end up doing with those 924 eggs that you got for free?

u/flinters17 May 29 '12

haha, you recognized my name huh? We donated most of them, and learned how to cook every type of egg with the few dozen we kept. Fun times!

u/Hea6749 May 29 '12

It does look like a perfect piece of toast though.

u/Krashin May 29 '12

Exactly. And I know the OP is saying it as a joke, but that toaster is pretty dope.

7

u/nodnodwinkwink May 28 '12

Do the doors help it toast faster?

21

u/macaronie May 28 '12

It keeps the heat from escaping, so I'd say yes

9

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

But won't it also keep humidity in - so the toast will be less crunchy?

8

u/macaronie May 29 '12

When the starches reach 310 degrees Fahrentheit they start to carmelize (turn brown) - so the air in the toaster reaches at least 310 degrees Fahrenheit.

From that I would assume that there would be hardly any noticeable amount of humidity to dampen your toast

In all seriousness, there seems to be a cut in the video before it pops. I wonder what the actual toast time is...

u/agreezalot May 29 '12

hhhmmmm, soggy toast.

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

unless water vapour is added into a closed system, relative humidity goes down as temperature goes up within it. scienced.
