Wikipedia defines toast as "bread that has been browned by exposure to dry heat." It also states that "toasting is a common method of making stale bread more palatable."
Oh, Wikipedia! You sell our beloved toast so short!Perhaps you've never tasted a perfectly tanned bagel straight from a
Breville four slice toaster. I'm guessing you've never experienced
golden brown perfection from an Oster glass view toaster.
If so, I'm sure your description wouldn't be quite so... well, dry.
Take it from Global Toaster, where you can buy toaster online in all shapes and sizes. Toast isn't just toast, when you know as much as we do about the finest kitchen appliances ever invented!
Wikipedia... so much to learn...
Now that I'm allowed to add a few carbs back into my diet (whole wheat, of course), I've been looking for a new toaster for bagels. As you're all well aware, we're bagel fanatics over here, so we settle for nothing less than the best.
I have to admit I've been pretty impressed with the Haier two slot toaster. For its reasonably low price, you have the option of turning off the burner on the "top of the bagel" side so it doesn't get undesirably brown.
Of course, if you're willing to spend a bit more money (and we Bagels never skimp on our toasting devices), nothing beats the sleek Kitchenaid four slot toaster for keeping all our Bagel bellies happy.
Otherwise, I wouldn't even mind a Smith toaster blue fo rmy bagels. Those seem to be great for them too.
Striking my best warrior pose while I was doing my latest yoga routine, and I couldn't help but think of a great way to up my workout... adding a tray toaster to the offering to the Gods.
You've got your arms up in the air... stretching up... it'd add just that extra bit of weight... perfect for toning up those muscles in my arms...
Now, I'm not a toastmaster bagel toaster yoga kung fu expert (say that twice), but I think downward facing dog could even benefit from a little added
oomph...They next thing you know, I'm twirling an oster inspire toaster on my pinky finger and my tendons feel like taffy being made a the local state fair... all wound up and stretched out like crazy!
Whew. I think I'll skip my workout today. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
Nothing quite says hoity toity like a pearl metallic toaster. (Nothing wrong with a little hoity and a little toity in my opinion... as long as it's just a little anyways.)
You can't say this isn't a cool color though. It gleams in the sunlight. It's sleek and super-shiney and reflective with all it's metally-ness going on and the pearl irridescense-ness...
Yeah, so what if I'm jealous that this 2 slot bagel toaster is probably a lot cooler than I am?There's no
way I could get away with all that pearly goodness going on...
Fine. I admit it. There's no hoity-toity here
(and what's that even mean anyways?) Nope. Just a solid, sleek appliance to pair perfectly with the Kitchen gourmet toaster oven that's out on your counter.
I could only hope to someday be in the presence of such a fine masterpiece. I bow down to you owe pearly metallic one, the epitomie of craftsmanship all all things hoity, but definitely not toity.
This cartoon says it all.
I'm a fool for new technology. New gadgets and devices are such fun toys... and there is always that next best version of it.
LOL! Now your favorite pearl metallic toaster may be screaming out for an upgrade in its software proram.
How could you possible be satisfied without a FULLY optimized toasting setting?!?
Bread Browner 3.1. Of COURSE! Sign me up! I should have done this last year! What am I doing so way behind the times?!?!
Don't let your Oster digital toaster go... dare I say... obsolete? THE SHAME!No, no, no.
Click over here. See for yourself some of the latest toasters for sale at Global Toaster.
Get with the times people!
Wow.
I stumbled across pop-tart earrings.
These are a vision! So much detail here. Sparkles, grape filling (or is that strawberry? - I can't tell)... they look so scrumptious.
Look! Somebody has already beat me to them and taken a bite!I wonder if they bake these miniature little earrings in an undercounter toaster oven?
Wait. Think about it, home kitchen/home office. You could make a fortune here selling little pop-tart edible earrings.They'd double as sweet perfume too, with that filling that oozing out at the bottom there. That wouldn't be messy at all. hehehe
There could be a whole line of jewelry here with the necklace and matching bracelet. All the different flavors and colors to mix and match. I could go for some pop-tart earrings... though I'd really prefer mini english muffin earring out of a oster red toaster.
That would be money.
How many of you have hit the tanning booth?... don't lie. You haven't been on vaca lately... how'd you get that sun-kissed "glow"?
Tanning. It's so terrible for your skin. It will give you cancer... but there's something so cozy about laying in a warm pod (like a slice of bread in Cuisinart digital toaster oven) getting baked by UV rays. Especially in the dead of winter when the weather couldn't be colder.
Yes. I know too much.
I promise. I've reformed my ways. This skin goes no where near a UV bulb... (
now mystic... that's another story...)This image made me laugh though.
It's spot on. Your like a slice of bread in a toaster slot just getting all browned up and toasty.
The weather better getting warmer really soon... or I may revert to my old ways... the glow of my Delonghi two slice toaster was looking a little too inviting today. :)
My favorite tweeting toaster is getting some press!Check this excerpt out I saw on Fox News:
"A toaster, called mytoaster, reaches out to the world to communicate two things: “toasting” and “done toasting.” This toaster only needs a piece of bread and a switchboard creating a hardware/digital interface to begin tweeting. Created by Hans Scharler of Pittsburgh, Phil., mytoaster, with its toasty tweeting abilities, has 334 followers"
Good for you Hans. Your two slice toaster has hit celebrity status!Just so you know, Jane Toast is one of its biggest fans. I mean, really... What's sweeter than hearing the status update that an innocent white toaster is out there toasting... and reporting in when the toast is done?!?!?
Music to my ears.
It's perfect. For more on Hans and his tweeting toaster, check his
website out.
And, follow GlobalToaster on twitter while you're at it!
Maybe we can talk Hans into rigging up a Oster red toaster to tweet for us... you never know!Until then, I'll continue to wait for the classic metal toaster pop-up to let me know when my toast is ready. I could only be so high-tech I suppose. I feel so behind the times all of a sudden...
51 second vertical drop, with 5Gs of force at 95 MPH at maximum speed...
what an adrenaline rush bob-sledding must be!Talk about teamwork.
Four guys pushing and hopping into the sled and then working the corners down the track. Beautiful, really.
It reminds me of the unison of a four slot bagel toaster. Popping each of the half bagel slices into the toaster slot, one at a time. Selecting the right setting, then pushiing the lever down.
GO! Watching the red glow of the coils heating up each slice while they work as a team to toast (just one side) of each delicious bagel.
When their all done right at the same time, you know you've won gold. You just can't replicate the adrenline rush and the teamwork you get with an excellent four slice bagel toaster, like the ones you can find at Global Toaster.
That pesky little crumb tray.
There's nothing worse than letting your oster counterforms toaster crumb tray go for way too long.
It's like letting your laundry pile up for a month, and then all of a sudden it takes a full day to get through ten loads of clothes you forgot you even owned.
Yeah, plus the potential for a fire hazard.I'd be so nice to be able to stuff your slice bread down the toaster slot and never have to worry about it leaving a trail of crumbs
(pun intended) that you'll end up finding later.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was an auto-clean feature on the modern toasters for sale, like modern ovens have? I don't know. It might be a good idea.
All I know, is that you should definitely work cleaning out your crumb tray into your weekly routine so you avoid doing an all day scrub down... or even worse end up with a fire in your kitchen!
Whatever you do. Don't neglect your toaster!
Uh, oh... it's coming up to wedding season again. You know what that means when you invite Jane Toast to the scene.
(hmm, I wonder if this is affecting my friendships. Maybe I'll stop getting invites soon... hope this isn't a friendship killer.... but, then again.... what kind of friend wouldn't treasure the gift of all gifts?!?) Ooops... side-tracked. Forgot I was still blogging for a second there.Go ahead and just take it off all of your registries. You know you're getting a Cusinart toaster oven white, or a pearl metallic toaster. Make no mistake. The classic wedding gift tradition lives on.
The force is strong with this one. Oh, yes, and there is no better place to find the perfect toaster oven muffin machine for the bride and groom than Global Toaster.
Yeah, those lovebirds might say they don't need one, or that they'll use the one they had in college... but come on. It's 2010. You're getting
married. You need to up the real estate your displaying on that granite countertop. There is no room for a crumby toast-r-oven that burns the tar out of your chicken pot pie crust in the front, and leaves it frozen in the back.
I'm embarrassed for you.Look, you're on the family plan, you'll be having kids soon... you need to start thinking about salmonella, the responsibiliity you guys will be carrying as head-chefs in the household. You just can't work with junkie appliances in your kitchen any more.
Go ahead and tell me where to ship your gift and pick out a brand and color while you're at it. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!
With the 2010 Winter Olympics on TV, and the weather so cold and snowy out, it's hard to even imagine the need to turn on the air conditioner right now, but I couldn't wait to post this funny cartoon about this poor guy's oster digital toaster
sweating!
Look! It's so cute when it's miserable... the poor thing. teehee.Standing in it's own little puddle of... hmmm.
Uh, guy? Maybe it's not such a good idea to stand too close to your puddled 2 slot bagel toaster.
If you look closely, you might just notice that that cord is still plugged into the wall... yeah. Slight oversight.
Quit staring at it and walk away. Turn on your air conditioner, this will cost you way less in the long run... promise. We wouldn't want you to make the Darwin's award list in 2010. It's too early for that... or, then again, if he's not smarter than his own pearl metallic toaster then maybe mankind would be better off... who am I to judge?
So, we've recently launched the
Global Toaster Facebook Fan Page. You should all sign up if you're as avid a toast fan as we all are. We've uploaded some of our favorite photos of toasters and toast-r-ovens, we update our status daily... and we've started a
Twitter account as well that keeps you FULLY informed of all things Global Toaster.
Heaven forbid if you miss ANYTHING about these beautiful, beautiful devices...
If that's not enough ... you can even ask us questions on
formspring.me. Oh, yeah, ask away! We're not afraid to answer.
We're going out there on a GLOBAL Toaster scale... there's no stopping us now. So, with this full Global Toaster campaign, I was wondering... do you think Global Toaster can get more fans than Justin Bieber? I don't know, but we're sure going to try.
After all,
it's all about getting the voice of the people and the proper respect to that Krups convection toaster oven just pining for some attention in your kitchen... and that Kitchenaid toaster oven red, yeah, you know the one... toaster and toast-r-oven fans united.
The mission is so clear.Oh, and if you'd like to what our friends across the planet over in Korea know about Global Toaster... check
THIS out.
Yep. I said Global Toaster. Buy toaster online from our lovely online shop if you're looking for toasters for sale. You won't regret it... I prefer to call it a toaster adoption really... matching owner with it's true toasting soulmate. I'll spare you and save that blog post for another day though.
Happy toasting!
On of my favorites is blueberry muffins. I love to make them in my toaster oven muffin pan.
And,
blueberries. One of the most perfect fruits.
Potent in antioxidants... you know, those things that'll make you live longer and get rid of all those "free radicals".
And what's wrong with free radicals, anyways? Can't you be a little different and not have the whole world shun you?
I know, there's a whole chemistry dissertation about what these things are and how awful they are in your body, but the phrase "free radicals" always makes me think of like this crazy guy with wirey hair holding up some cardboard sign on a stick picketing against or for some random "cause".
Because, holding up a sign on a stick will change the world.
Or, check these guys out. Talk about outsmarting the system. Picketing while
napping. Now, thare's an idea.
And, they're picketing about picketing... hilarious!
Now, if I could only talk them into picketing for the little Sunbeam toaster oven. I'm sure they'd be on board. Especially, if I served them fresh blueberry muffins...
I'll support the free radicals - they gotta eat too!
Put on your spectacles... I found an informational website that all true toaster fans should definitely visit. I found the cyber museum on classic metal toasters online. Right here at the Cyber Toaster Museum.
It takes me back to my overwhelmed training-wheels days out in Ohio this past summer, perusing the aisles and aisles of antique porcelain and metal toasters for sale.
Call me a slow-learner... but this site is so helpful for me to keep the floppers, spinners, turners, twisters, etc. etc. etc. all straight. There's such a huge history behind these fascinating little machines that it's enough to make your eyes go dizzy!
(Shhhh... don't tell my friends in the Toaster Collector's Association I'm cheating!)
I mean, come on. How am I supposed to take it all in over the course of a one-day crash course? This is like the cliff-notes version. I'll just have to study up a bit before the next convention convenes down in Texas this next fall. By the looks of this new website I found, it looks as though I've got a lot of reading ahead of me... gulp.
Oh, maybe they won't mind if I'm not a toaster-history expert yet... I'm getting there.
But, definitely check out the site, though I'm not sure whether or not they talk about some of the more modern ones, like the Cuisinart digital toaster oven, or the brick oven... but you know where you can find those.
You got it. Global Toaster!
On the set with
American Idol...
Here is a sneak peak of the kind of
Toaster you
should find in the dressing room of
American Idol.
You would think that they would have some commercial size
toaster, like a
Cuisinart Digital Toaster Oven or a Pearl Metallic Toaster. But no... they're probably equipped with the
Radio 2-Slot Toaster! I guess while getting ready for their performance, the contestants can sing along with their favorite tunes and grab some toast for a quick snack. That is one thing... you never want to perform on an empty stomach.
Hopefully, this American Idol season is as enjoyable as last year!
If you don't enjoy the tunes, at least you can enjoy your toast.
I just ate so much I can't breathe.
How many times have you done it? Sat down at a family-style restaurant
(because "family-style" = stuff your face) and thought... I shouldn't be here.
Yep. That was me tonight.
It kinda reminds me of when I'm staring at a plate of Eggo waffles... there's no limit. I dive in, and keep going. I'm lucky the Oster counterforms toaster by my side can keep up with the flurry of powdered sugar and crispy waffles flying at my face.
But, this was no plate of waffles... nooo....I mean, I'm sooooo miserable. I'll be spending the next 8 hours digesting (what should have been a plate full of waffles) spicy, heavy Italian food... ugh.
Talk about heartburn.I never feel this way after dining on anything out of a Cuisinart toaster oven white or a 2 slot bagel toaster. Learned my lesson... again.
Maybe I can sleep this off.
Check this new technology out!
This is the
next generation of Toasters! drum roll please!
It is not your ordinary Sunbeam Toaster oven or even a Pearl Metallic Toaster.
Actually I am not sure what you would call it.
To me it looks like your sending your bread in for an MRI. Maybe to check to see how much yeast is in the slice or to get the carbohydrate breakdown. Hopefully the bread you buy is not
claustrophobic! Watch out TOAST!
I do know one thing.... there would be no more reaching in with your fingers, trying to grab that piece of toast out of the slots.
You don't pop in bread from above but rather, you slide the bread in from the side...
sideways. When the toasting process is done, the bread slides back out. It's a thing of genius.
I guess it is a neat process. But I am a little old school and like to hear my Toast
"POP" when it is done!
Love him or hate him, there is something going on with this young guy Justin Bieber. All of a sudden, he's on the radio, he's on Twitter, he has a huge Facebook following... and he's an overall self-marketed stud. (well, there may have been some help along the way...)
Anyways, check out pint-sized Justin Bieber here. How cool or not you think he is, the fact remains he is POPULAR!
Now he may have millions of dollars of marketing behind him, but he's no match for a humble Kitchen Convection Toaster Oven. I mean, come on. There's no need to over glamorize it - any ol' toaster-r-oven is respected purely for its talent. Right? They should be at any rate.
They might not be the popular kids in school, but maybe we can turn that around. That is, after all, the mission of Global Toaster. To take the little overlooked appliance and make it big time.
I can see it now - the name Tfal Avante Elite toaster oven out there in bright sparkling lights. Let's get these guys on stage and see what they can really do.
Heywood Banks could only take them so far. Justin - a little help here?
Is Justin Bieber becoming so big that he doesn't use a Toaster?
This young star is rising to the top quick! I wonder if he gets any time to enjoy the use of a Toaster. I know when I was a kid, I looked forward to every morning putting my 2 Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts in my Red Four Slice Toaster. It was my favorite breakfast!
"YUMMY"!!Now...
Justin probably has his entire entourage run to the nearest bakery that has a Kitchen Gourmet Toaster Oven of some sort and pick up a few croissants for him. Which isn't a bad idea either.
You never know though... most celebs just like to be treated as people just like everyone else. Justin could be eating Eggo Waffles every morning (which is what I think) and cooking Hot Pockets in his Tfal Avante Elite Toaster Oven in the evenings for dinner.
No matter what I think...
I am sure there will be a Tell All book about Justin Bieber by the time he is 18. Then we can find out all of his secrets.
