Concept Toast-Dropping Toaster is Real After All: The Trapdoor Toaster
11:30PM Kit Eaton | We gave the Nahamer T450 toaster concept design a big thumbs-up for its simplicity… but it turns out that there’s actually a real toast-dropping versus toast-popping machine. The Trapdoor Toaster does exactly what it sounds like it does. It’s a 1400W device, with auto-adjusting guide racks so it can do toast, bagels or pop-tart-style food. You simply slide in your food, and when it’s done it slips out the bottom, and elegantly onto your plate. Out now for US$79.95. [Hammacher Schlemmer] More »

The ‘Moaster’ is the Highest Popping Toaster in the World

And because your judgment is a little impaired that early in the morning, you decide to jam a fork in there to dig it out only to be electrocuted and rushed to the hospital? Sure, we have all been there. However, Freddie Yauner, the dude behind “The Moaster,” will not have to worry about that anytime soon because he has set the record for the “highest popping in toaster the world” according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Breville ikon Combines Tea and Toast (into Teast)
6:30AM Mark Wilson | I doubt that it’s all that more space efficient to combine kitchen gadgets, but it can certainly save you a few precious counter plugs. The ikon by Breville combines your toaster with a kettle, the perfect breakfast machine for when your visiting friends from overseas ask for something other than your trademark Egg McMuffin on a plate. At US$130, it’s the same price as Breville’s LED-gauged standalone toaster. So before dropping any cash, decide if it’s more important for you to have hot water or a kitchen that glows as unnaturally bright as your entertainment centre. [product via Techfresh] More »

Toast Mattress Perfect For Hot, Buttery Afternoon Delights
6:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | Sure, Wilson, there is plenty of information out there today on flat toasters, but what about mattresses that look like toast? You didn’t consider that, did you? Well, worry not, because I’m here to serve up this toasty, delectable looking 1.8m by 2.1m Inflatable Toast Mattress to top off our crispy brunch coverage for the day. Don’t let the looks fool you though. Since this toast is made of rubber, not wheat, it is more for the sleepy, not the hungry. Sleeping with a knife and butter is optional but not recommended, since the Inflatable Toast Mattress retails for US$170. [Archie McPhee via Fabulist] More »

Fagor Flat Toaster Makes Me Question Everything
4:00AM Wilson Rothman | At Giz, we’re in the habit of introducing new products every day, and in the world of gadgetry, specialty kitchen products are a dime a dozen. Today, though, I was taken by surprise by the simplest of inventions: a flat, barbecue-style toaster. When I spotted the Fagor TP-2006 X (with “acoustic warning device”) on Appliancist today, not only did the form of it surprise me, but—after a little Googling—so did the fact that the flat toaster is not a new concept: More »

Toast One Cures Burnt-Hand-Grabbing-Toast-Itis
9:07PM Haroon Malik | The Toast One is so simple; it’s a toaster that flips upside down to release the crunchy goodness straight onto your plate. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? Sure, Jesus may be right in raising alarm about the dramatic increase of crumb concentration in your life, but the dangerous dance of the knife-fork quick grab will long be forgotten, and who’d pass up that opportunity?
