Don't you want to spend $400 on a smart toaster?

I would love to be able to spend that much money on such an unnecessary purchase.

it’s basically replaced my microwave for reheating food, esp frozen foods. there’s practically no preheating time. and it toasts toast super fast (~90 seconds) and perfectly evenly

Every night, I put 4 strips of bacon on a George Foreman grill by my bed. Alarm goes off, I turn the grill on. I sleep for 20 minutes. I wake up to cooked bacon. Its good for you, its nutritious.

I admire your breakfast skills. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?

It probably didn’t make it, but there was a high-end oven a decade or so ago that was also a fridge. You could put your food in it in the morning and program it to switch to baking at a certain time so that you would come home to a ready meal. I thought it was brilliant, but too expensive to be practical.

This was a 4 slice toaster in '82. I bet with inflation that's about what this cost in 2022 dollars.
