In fishing camp in Quebec we had a stovetop toaster. It was a round metal plate with wire loops on top that leaned toward the center of the metal plate. The toaster was placed on a burner of the stove and when it got heated up, the sliced bread was put on the wire loops that were heated up and would toast the bread.
Yinz remember the toasters that said "single slice here", right? Maybe 20 years ago I was working with droopy and he was bitching about the toaster in our office wouldn't toast right all the time. Just one slice. This room temperature IQ idiot had a family, was in the Guard, had a good job, and he never knew that the top said "single slice here." I even showed him that bent wire in the one side that knows there's a slice of bread that needs a toastin'. I still don't think he knows that. New ones probably don't have that stupid feature. I just use a trigger ignition MAPP gas torch.

But is it on the approved appliance roster for California?
What is the carbon footprint?
Can I get a solar powered version?
How about a Rainbow Flag model?

Long ago when I lived in Detroit and still read the newspapers, one of them had an article where they invited readers to write in with a list of products they had purchased over their lifetimes that they were very happy with.
Far and away the most common item listed was the Sunbeam Toaster. Some comments were along the lines
"We got a Sunbeam Toaster as a wedding present in 193x. We've used it every day for 50 years and it still works perfectly!"
So look for one at a yard sale.

Actually, I'm waaaay past shoe laces. These days its slip-ons or Velcro. Only time I wear socks is with boots. I mostly avoid things that require me too reach my feet.
OP
That was a waste of time. See, nothing can exist unless Rusty has a meme for it. He is the King of Meme.
OP
I doubt they would allow it in California. I believe they have it listed as an ASSAULT TOASTER.
OP
Hey guys, I really appreciate all the responses. I almost didn't post this. It seemed kind of silly. I had no idea so many of you shared my struggle. I'm glad to have been a help. Rusty , thanks to you we will never eat cold left over pizza again! LOL!
You might be the most successful man in the world....
... but if you ain't got decent toast, you might as well not have anything.
PS It took 40 years for me to convince a certain someone that warm bread is NOT 'toast'.

This is why we work hard all our lives, so that we can indulge ourselves in small pleasures.
Growing up as a wee lad in a world of inconsistent, cheap toasters I fondly remember the sound of mom scraping toast to herald breakfast time.

Does it have an app like my new washing machine?

We stopped using toasters decades ago. Now, we can watch through the oven window. Don't forget the toast. Don't forget the toast.
Had a Black and Decker toaster which did a good job with toast. Only problem was that it took very long time. I could drop the toast, then fry my eggs over hard, brown my sausage and hash browns and still have to wait for the toast to pop up. I bought a new toaster which is much faster. I will keep the old one for backup. Only paid $17 for the new one so hard to say how long it will last.
walkin jack, I can appreciate that review. I had a 20 year old Toastmaster that finally gave up - pushed down the lever and it died in a shower of sparks. Bought another Toastmaster (at WalMart) to replace it, and it was ok. At the time I was only toasting muffins - toast on one side setting. I retired last year and am buying bread mostly, not muffins. (Crunchy peanut butter on warm toast is a great snack!) The toaster was stuck on muffin setting, one side only. Ditched it. Bought a Black and Decker (!!! I have a drill and saw with their brand!!!) and it's been ok, so far.
