Sometimes, the best designs are the most simple. For example, the annoying habit of burning the toast. If your cooking skills are limited, an appliance that can ensure browned, toasty perfection again and again, may just be a god send.

The innovative new glass toaster was designed with you in mind. Bread is placed between two sheets of heated glass and toasts in full view so you can eject it just as it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Melinda Hart, of the product developer Inventables, said: “This idea is based on a transparent heating glass technology. The transparent toaster allows you to see bread while it is toasting, so you’re never surprised by toast that comes out too dark.”

The one draw back of this elegantly designed toaster is that it only caters for one slice at a time, but that may be a small price to pay for the satisfaction of perfectly browned toast, every time. A bachelors dream!
