The Toastest With the Mostest

by Evan Shamoon on April 18, 2007 at 08:00 AM



In the future, there will be toast. Lots, and lots, of toast. It will be perfectly crusty, never dry, and will hold condiments better than any toast before it. It will be a toast renaissance.

This is our fate, at least according to the crispy bread experts at OhGizmo who have compiled a list of the top five most forward-looking toasters in existence (or perhaps soon-to-be-existence). These range from the Hood Toaster, which provides your bread with "a stately, secluded, romantically lit trip through a tunnel on a toast carriage", to the Pirate Toaster (or as we like to say in the trade, the Pirate ToastARRRR), which imprints a skull-and-crossbones onto that which enters into its steel grates.

Our personal favorite is the Zuse, which uses dot-matrix style heating elements to burn images into your toast at a resolution of 12×12 'pixels'. "Awesome" is simply not a strong enough word.
