Tanning Just Like a Slice of Bread in a Toaster

Sunday, February 28, 2010 by Jane Toast
toaster slot, sunbeam toaster ovenHow 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.  :)

Tweeting Toaster MyToaster is a Celebrity!

Sunday, February 28, 2010 by Jane Toast
mytoaster, toasters for sale, toast-r-ovenMy 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...

Bobsledding Reminds Me of My 4 Slot Bagel Toaster

Sunday, February 28, 2010 by Jane Toast
four slot bagel toaster, 4 slot bagel toaster51 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.



Oh That Crumby Crumb Tray

Sunday, February 28, 2010 by Jane Toast
toasters for sale, slot bagel toasterThat 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!


I Hear Wedding Bells... Give 'em a Toaster!

Saturday, February 27, 2010 by Jane Toast
toast-r-oven, oster red toasterUh, 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!




A Sweaty Toaster... Is that Possible?

Friday, February 26, 2010 by Jane Toast
sweaty toaster slot, sweaty sunbeam toaster ovenWith 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?

Global Toaster - OVER Exposed?!?! BAH! Impossible.

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.

Picket for Free Radicals, or Better Yet - Toast-R-Ovens!

Friday, February 26, 2010 by Jane Toast
picket for the 4 slot bagel toasterOn 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!

Jane Toast Discovers A History on Toasters... Online!

Thursday, February 25, 2010 by Jane Toast

undercounter toaster oven musuemPut 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!


Toaster Oven Muffin Justin Bieber

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 by Jane Toast

Justin Bieber Toaster Oven MuffinLove 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?


Stuffed Full of Cheesecake... I Could Make This in My Toaster Oven!

Sunday, February 21, 2010 by Jane Toast

ktichen gourmet toaster oven, toasters for saleI had an amazing slice of cheesecake today from the Cheesecake factory... and by slice, I mean, mountain high slab of creamy goodness topped off with heaps of fluffy whipcream.

My only question was could I replicate this at home?

Maybe in a Krups convection toaster oven, I could get the cream cheese baked just right.  Of course, I'd have to use one of those fancy Kitchenaid mixers I've been eyeing for about 10 years now... yeah, the self-restraint is so respectable, right?

Sorry- back to cheesecake...

Since I'm not feeding an army here, I think I could get away with making a miniature version of today's treat in my cusinart toaster oven.  I'm sure of it.   Stay tuned... I think I'll try this out.

Shutter Island... LESS Thrilling than a Toast-R-Oven

Sunday, February 21, 2010 by Jane Toast

toast-r-oven, kitchen convection toaster oven

Saw another movie recently, and I couldn't be LESS thrilled about it.  I'm 2 for 2 for bad movies lately, I'm so glad that my Cuisinart Toaster oven reviews are nothing like my opinions about the last two flicks.

I mean, the plot, the destination, the story line... so much great potential.  But, I'm telling you.   Not that I'm biased or anything, but tfal toaster ovens will hold your attention longer than this film will.

Too bad too.  I'm such a fan of Lenardo Di Caprio. 

Oh, well... save yourself some cash, wait for it to come out on cable for free... and go have a toasted cheese sammie instead, made in your mountable toaster oven.

It will keep you so much better entertained.

Jane Toast Says: What Is Up With Curling?

Sunday, February 21, 2010 by Jane Toast
curling, toasters for sale, kitchen gourmet toaster ovenI'm amazed by this sport.  Between my Cuisinart toaster oven reviews, I admit I've been watching the 2010 winter olympics, and whenever curling comes on... I can't turn away.  I don't know what it is.

It's not like it gets me up on the edge of my seat, like when I'm just ready for my toast to pop up out of an Oster digital toaster, but... I keep staring.  I think it's fascinating, and I just know there's more strategy behind it than I know about.

From an innocent Jane Toast bystander viewpoint, I feel like I'm watching a giant, slow game of shuffleboard, where the contestants are allowed to cheat the system by scrubbing the ice in front of the "puck".

(Excuse my ignorance... I'm sure I have the terminology all wrong here...)

How does this all work, and how have they build a sport around it?!?!  I just don't understand.

Can someone please explain? 

I want to shove a toaster down the ice and see how well it performs. 
I think a red four slice toaster could beat this thing in a curling match any day of the week.

Well, hopefully someone has some insight they can share with me.  Otherwise, I'll just continue to watch and cheer when the other fans start cheering.  I'm a team player after all... even if I don't get it.

Start chanting - USA! USA! USA!

STOP THIEF!!!! Toaster Repair Work

Friday, February 19, 2010 by Jane Toast
cusinart toaster oven, tfal convection toaster ovenI think this comic strip features a sneaky little guy... claiming to "fix" a perfectly good toaster.

Read it.  Yep.  Super Sneaky.

He should have tried to lift a white Cuisinart toaster oven, it would have been even less OBVIOUS!!!

Come on mortal... you should've seen this coming.

But, wow.   It's so not considerate to go stealing someone's oster cool touch toaster like that... this guy should go buy Breville toaster online for himself.

SHEESH.   Didn't his mama teach him anything?  

The best toaster-shop is right here at Global Toaster everyday of the week!

BZZZZZT!

Only a mortal couldn't figure that out!

Toaster Concept... Close, But No Cigar

Thursday, February 18, 2010 by Jane Toast
egg n muffin toaster, bacon toaster, light blue toasterYep - this might be a preliminary concept-stage version of the egg n muffin toaster we all know and love now.

But, bacon in a light blue toaster?  hmmm... it's not quite there.

Think about the drippy bacon grease... the electrical parts involved...

A compact toaster oven would be a better idea for cooking bacon.  And, for health freaks... turkey bacon is a little bit less greasy.  Try that out sometime.

As for me, I like to crispy up my BREAD in my two slot toaster, and I'll stick with cooking my bacon in my Cuisinart toaster oven stainless... for safety sake.

I still haven't purchased that egg and muffin toaster yet.  I will.  It's on the bucket list.   A must have in my life.  I guarantee... IT WILL BE MINE!!!

iPhone Toaster? Interesting

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by Jane Toast
oster cool touch toaster, buy breville toaster, compact toaster ovenSo I stumbled across this funny little cartoon about the iPhone heating up so much that it should double as a toaster...

BRILLIANT!

How convenient would it  be to have a kitchen gourmet toaster iphone?  HELLO?!?!?

...crispy toast on the go, along with your GPS mapping, telephone, and all the other apps that the iPhone brings to your fingertips!!!  Why didn't I think of this?

Can you just hear it ringing, then HOT TOAST!  I'd prefer mine to be a lime green toaster iphone.  I bet a light blue toaster iPhone would look equally as cool as well.

Who cares about the color when you get prefectly crispy toast on the go anyways?!?!?!

I wonder if they'd burn the image of the Apple logo into the toast... they should of course.  Anything without would just be an imposter.

Me Not You - Favorite Toaster Music Video

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by Jane Toast
So, this is it.  I watched Dear John today at the movie theater...

um... it was long, drawn out and just plain weird.  But, it's a story about love, right?  Well... not to blow the whole story, but I guess sometimes... the love story, just isn't "perfect"?

Case in point- check this lightwave toaster love story of a music video out.  The classic: "It's ME NOT YOU" line, and from the little light blue toaster.

Clearly breaking this poor guy's heart.  <sigh>

It's very touching, especially the ending.  You'll have to watch the journey of what could be a Cuisinart toaster bagel, go off to muffinland and then somehow find its way!

I mean, it found its way and wound up right where it should have been in the first place, with the kitchen gourmet toaster love of its life!

A story-book happy ending... sort of... just watch the video and see for yourself:


Hi... Do You Like My Toasters?

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 by Jane Toast
lime green toaster, toaster shirt, kitchen gourmet toaster ovenUh... yes.  Yes, I do.  Thank you for asking. 

This might be my favorite lime green toaster monster pick up t-shirt EVER.  Not that I've seen one before... but this is AWESOME.

What girl could resist a guy in THIS Toaster T-Shirt?

Seriously... only a compact toaster oven fool wouldn't see the humor in this great shirt.

Guys, wear this out to the bars...
instant conversation starter.   How could it not be?

Any girl would definitely be IMMEDIATELY attracted to you wearing this.  I'd improve it by adding a Oster cool touch toaster to it, possibly a kitchenaid toaster oven red.

I mean, there's no reason you can't show off the variety of toasters in your collection with your t-shirt!  THINK ABOUT IT!!!

JR's Museum - Toasters Included!

Monday, February 15, 2010 by Jane Toast
toaster oven muffin, delonghi four slice toaster, red four slice toaster, oster copper toasterI met some new friends at the Toaster Collector's Association this past October, one of which is JR, the owner of a Small Electric Appliance Musuem out in Missouri.

Look at this photo of his collection.
  Yes, those are all classic metal toasters.

I can't tell from this photo if my favorite Delonghi four slice toaster would be included... these look like they may be more antique than modern, but it might be there.

If you're in the Missouri area, you should stop in and see this place.  JR is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about his collection of small appliances, he even has more than just my favorite.

I hope to make a trip out there to see if I can find a Munsey toaster oven in the mix.  You never know...  If you want more info about one of my new friend's speciality shop, click to his website.  

If you're looking to buy something new, like a oster copper toaster you've found the place: Global Toaster.

Potato Bread in Your Toaster... Why Not?

Monday, February 15, 2010 by Jane Toast
toaster oven muffin, red four slice toaster, oster copper toasterI don't know why, but I've been thinking about potatoes lately.

Maybe it's the weather.  So, they make potato bread, and I was thinking about how toasted potato bread would be out of a Oster countertop toaster.

I wonder if potato bread is any thicker than regular bread?  The only thing I've definitely noticed about it is its odd potatoey yellow color.  (Not that anything yellow is ever a bad thing) it's just not, well... white bread.

If it is thicker, I bet a two slot bagel toaster would do the trick.  Maybe I should buy some on my way home today from work to try it out.  Afterall, what would be better on a snowy day than a bowl of yummy potato soup and some toasted potato bread to go with?

I can't imagine a more perfect potato dinner.
