The inaccuracy that is intrinsic to everyday cooking is no cause for alarm. At least when it comes to toast. The Breville Premium Plastic Toaster combines old-school styling with a couple of modern features. The toaster includes a monitoring process in the form of a "lift and look" feature that allows for midcycle adjustments. Perhaps more engaging is the inclusion of a button that speaks the language of the eater; there can be no mistake about the utility of a button labeled "A Bit More."
Much like steak changes significantly when subjected to prolonged cooking, toast is sensitive to varying degrees of doneness. There is no formula for such; we just know how we like it. Sometimes, despite all the precision equipment that populates the kitchen, all we really need to know is when something just isn't quite done yet.
How many burned thumbs have I endured from checking my toast? How many burned pieces have I endured from sending it back down and getting sidetracked?
Seriously, I love it when something we take for granted gets a simple but awesome facelift. This wasn't incredibly hard to do, someone just had to finally get around to it. I love kitchen gadgets, and this will be on my counter within a month.
The Bon is pleased.
