Scan Toaster puts the power of ‘miracle toast’ into the hands of mere mortals

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, Household

Industrial designer Sung Bae Chang has finally given us mortals the ability to do that which was once considered a bona-fide miracle. Using the “Scan Toaster,” anyone with a PC and a USB cable can burn the likeness of the Blessed Virgin Mary (or any image or text that you wish) onto a slice of bread. The toaster utilizes a network of toasting “modules” — hot wires that rotate within a 30 degree radius — that burn the image or text you have selected onto the delicious slice of your choice. The peripheral is a finalist in a design competition run by the appliance manufacturer Electrolux, so as-of-yet there aren’t any plans to manufacture it on a mass scale. We’re guessing that Mr. Sun Bae Chang probably wants to keep the awesome power of the Scan Toaster for himself anyway.
