toaster

A toaster is an electrical appliance used to brown or toast slices of bread and similar foods. It works by passing an electric current through heating elements made of metal, which become hot and radiate heat. When you insert bread into the slots and press the lever, the toaster's internal circuitry activates these elements, creating even heat. This heat toasts the bread’s surface, giving it a crispy texture and golden-brown color. Most toasters have adjustable dials to control the level of toasting and other features like cancel buttons or bagel settings, enhancing convenience.
