The world’s first intelligent, no-burn toaster. It may be a small problem, but it’s fixing the simple things that will help change the world in the end, doncha think?

‘The invention is world’s first toaster with technology able to sense the caramelisation, and hence brownness, of toast to guarantee perfect toast every time. The patented system monitors invisible sugar and/or carbon particles using an ionizing particle sensor. Different particles are given off as caramelisation effects occur within the toast, crucially at the perfect brown level, creating the well loved sweet smell and taste, and until now their existence, particularly for use as a sensing opportunity, has been unknown.’
