If you have ever gotten close up to your toaster while it is in action, you know that bread makes a wonderful sizzling sound when it is being toasted. Tsss... tsss... as the moisture in the bread heats up. The proposed toaster is equipped with high fidelity microphones and a Dolby surround-sound speaker
system so that you can listen to your toast's morning song without the risk of also toasting your ear. The toaster is also equipped with a conventional bell to tell you when the toast is done, but you can think of this as a training bell. After you have become fluent in toast-speak, you will know from the sound when it is ready to eat.

Not the same as Musical Toast, but the products could possibly share the speaker system. [swimswim, May 03 2010]
Does anyone want any toast?

Our aim should be to have a mic-ed toaster that is accurate enough to do this:

It bothers me so much that I'm going to bun this idea myself [+]. |
|
| |
If you turn the volume up, you can hear them screaming. |
|

I'm waiting for the audio CD "Toast: Greatest Hits". |

Me toaster is mute, I tell ya. I would have to stick my
head dangerously close to the heating elements to
catch a phrase of talking toast, I think. Ouch, there
goes that eyebrow...singe...there goes that
eyelash... |
|
| |
In Space, no-one can hear your toast scream ... |
|
| |
I only wish I had more than one [+] to give. |
|

Does this toast sound french to you? |
|
| |
daniello, if you are so moved to bun beyond one, may I suggest
you bun swimswim's sad little Ladder Pants P.R.O. idea, the
only bones on swimswim's list. I suspect swimswim is fond of it
and so has left it flagging there. I'm bunning it myself because...
I kinda like it! |
|
| |
Did it sound like David Gates? |

//I'm waiting for the audio CD "Toast: Greatest Hits".// Unfortunately, [normzone], all you are likely to get is another stale "Bread" album. |

I'll join the bun parade. I almost always eat cracked wheat bread, and sometimes I can hear the odd uncracked kernel go POP while in the toaster. I could take this idea to the next level and hook up a huge honkin' subwoofer so the popping sounds like artillery shells. |
|

<misquoting (with audio track of helicopters passing overhead): "I love the smell of cracked wheat toast in the morning. It smells like.....breakfast."> |
|
| |
Brilliant! I might actually bother eating breakfast if it
were an acoustic experience. |
|
| |
Cameras should also project a view of the toasting action onto a giant screen. |
|
| |
OK, cameras should film the toasting and feed a signal to projectors which do the projecting, but you get the idea. |
|
| |
[pocmloc], I think you are really on to something here. Toast is destined for IMAX. |
|
| |
[pocmloc] As a screensaver toast toasting would work rather
well. Would also be a coy reference to "After Dark." Or as
an
animated desktop, at 1/5th speed. |

IT} you are dead right, that is indeed the best marmalade available in the world today. |

The hissing noise is particularly noticeable with fruit loaf, as the sultanas boil... how are you going to filter out the bell noise from your amplifier, though? Otherwise you're going to get the shock of your life when the toast pops. |

This is brilliant - and could be expanded to include other cookery methods too - I'd like to mike-up my hob, grill, oven and fridge so I can enjoy being fully sensorially immersed whilst cooking my dinner. Imagine, sight, taste, sound - it's what the kitchen needs! |
