I ALWAYS burn toast, it's a joke that it is the only thing I just can't master to cook. That and meringues.
Inventbles is a fab show case of material inventions that can be purchased by companies to manufacture in their products. This toaster is just one potential use for heated glass. I'm sure if it went into production the design and functionality would be addressed (like getting the toast out safely.)
Another simple idea I like are labels that dissolve in water - hurrah! Great for people like me who reuse jars for homemade produce but find getting labels off a real bore.
If you love product design as much as I do, check out some other ideas here.

Like the design for glass sided toaster, though you'd really have to make sure you cleaned the crumbs out every time you used it! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe water soluble labels I'm not sure about... I often spill a little or pick up a jar with sticky fingers and can just wipe it down with a wet cloth or wash the lidded jar under a running tap. I'm not sure that'd work with a label that dissolved in water! :)
Kavey - ah yes both great problematic points! You may have serious issues of sticky jam and half dissolved labels. Not good. Product designers - a solution please!
