toasters - why don't they work properly?
Why can't someone invent a toaster that works properly? I mean for longer than the first few days of use! And affordable for the masses of course! How many of us buy a new toaster every year or so, in hopes of evenly coloured golden brown bread to start our day with? How many of us put up with the same old toaster.... and bread that is unevenly toasted? Bread that is browned only on the bottom half of the slice? Bread that is browned only on one side, with the other side being barely coloured? Bread that is browned only in the middle while the edges are warmed and slightly crispy but certainly not browned. Bread that is browned, but only barely, on either side, no matter how high a setting we choose on the dial? I have a toaster that I bought within a month of moving here and for a few days the toast was lovely. A little darker than golden, coloured from crust to crust, both sides the same shade. Very nice. Now? A small circle of bread in the centre of the slice...
