Transparent Toaster

This looks like a wonderful idea. You can see how brown your toast is getting, so you wonâ€™t be surprised by burnt toast. Too bad itâ€™s only a concept, since glass canâ€™t get hot enough to toast bread ...yet. http://www.inventables.com/Product/ConceptStudio.asp?i=11&t=3 -via Engadget

Looks familiar. Ah yes! So it's Miss Cellania's turn for reposting :)

You could probably make a real transparent toaster with the aid of temperature proof glass and coils of wire threaded in grooves in the glass. It won't be entirely transparent due to the wire, but at least it'll be largely transparent.

I was thinking something similar.

Hey! Just make the two side panels out of diamond!

MrPumpernickel seems to have gotten the idea right. I wonder if you could also use a light source to heat it so you wouldn't need any wires? Think of a heated buffet table with the large red lights on top.

Hey I'm all for cool looking industrial design, but if it isn't at all feasible b/c of the materials used (glass can't get hot enough) what's the point really. If I can ""design" a cool looking aircraft that has nowhere near enough lift to actually fly what have I but a slick paperweight model?
