In the what'll they think of next category, how about seeing bread toasted right in front of you without any wires or metal surrounding it? Folks, this is history in the making. You've heard of concept cars. How about concept toasters? Take your bread for a spin in one of these babies!

I remember being blown away when my mom defied my dad and bought a toaster oven with a glass front. We used to have one of those conventional metal cases that burnt the crap out of bread, but if it was good enough for the Figelbots (our slightly odd next door neighbors who watched a little too much Star Trek) it was good enough for us. Mom plugged the thing in and we looked through the window to see our toast magically not ignite. Dad smiled with joy and hugged mom. Then for additional excitement  we all went outside to watch grass grow. Ah, sweet childhood memories.

If the Figelbots knew of this progressive Pop-Tart® appliance they'd probably suggest transparent aluminum (See Star Trek IV, the one with the whales) but until it's invented we'll have to settle for magical glass. Somebody get Corning on the blower.

My only suggestion to improve this baby is to expand it to two slices. Who downs only one slice of toast?
