This would be like the kind of popcorn bag you put in your microwave, only with some sort of heat-conductive material attached to it, which you stick in the toaster slot and it pops the popcorn. See the picture for an example.

A toaster really can't accomodate enough popcorn to make this worthwhile, can it? |
|
|
Maybe if it worked like a hot air popper where the kernels leave the toaster and are caught in a hopper of some sore. This idea needs a popper hopper. |
|
|
I'm imagining that, once popped, you wouldn't be able to get the thing out of the toaster slot. |
|
|
You're assuming that popcorn is going to be in the slot. I think virus means for a thermally conductive area of the bag to be in the slot, with the rest sitting above. Nice idea. |

My oath it is [DrCurry], why wouldn't it be? |
|
|
That's not how I interpret the diagram but, if that is the case, I agree it's not a bad idea. |
|
|
Please test in a fire-proof environment, because you're gonna block the convection cooling of the toaster. It'll be fun to watch, though. |

"No Son, you mean 'Daddy's burned the toast.'" |

"No Momma, Danny's burned the toaster and his clothes and he's rolling around the kitchen floor with his hair on fire." |

yea RoboBust was right. pretty shitty diagram lol... |
|
|
ok i made the diagram a little more understandable |
|
|
Oops - I thought you wanted to toast popped popcorn, hence my doubtfulness. |
|
|
Now I see you are popping the corn in the toaster. So permit me some different doubtfulness - how many people in this modern world have a toaster but not a microwave? |

Definite croissant from me, versatility is the name of the game, use it in a toaster, under a grill, on the engine of your carbicle. |
