Which is why if the toaster is already hot when you put in a fresh slice of bread, that time will give you extra toastiness vs the same time starting with a cold toaster.

I was in my late twenties when I learned that the numbers on a toaster are simply time and not degrees of toastiness.

Some smarter toasters apparently have compensation for this.
How much could a toaster be, $200?
I just bought a toaster oven for $99 + tax.
I don’t know how smart it is yet, because it’s only toasted once.
I was precisely today years old.
How does one become 2025-04-09 years old? What does that feel like?
Terrible, I do not recommend it.
Time yes, but not minutes.

That isn’t always true! Some toasters have sensors to detect how dark the bread is.
… but most just use timers :(
ICE are using the same tech
They are toastiness if your toaster is automatic beyond belief
What a find! Will watch that properly later.

His video about Power vs Energy was great too!
They’re both.
