What's Wrong With This Picture?

Those look like twins to mine. Only difference is the pattern on the cloth covered cords. Back when we made really good things at reasonable prices. You won't find chrome like that on anything made today. Mike

The braid on mine is red and black with a molded plug. It is quite long and in exceptional condition. I think it was made relatively late in the production of this model.

I am always astounded at how many different types of simple equipment just to colour a slice of bread are to be found in our stores.
What a senseless waste of resources.
The company SMEG stands for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla an Italian company.
The odoriferous compound is smegma.
I must admit the very first time I saw it on a cooker I cracked up.

Is that what they do? I just assumed the bread was lost as I have only found toast after using one of these devices………

Have had this toaster for 40 some years. Got it from my mom, and not sure how long she had it. Never misses a beat, and have never had to fix it. I do empty the crumbs out of it maybe once a month. Mike

Now that's a Toaster

....make that bacon fat and I'm in!

We used to make what we called “greasy bread” at the cabin.

Fry the bacon, then fry the bread in the bacon grease to toast it.

The bread goes in, the toast comes out, but where does the bread go?


At work we had and industrial toaster, made the best toast and was fast too.

It had wire tank treads that came in from both sides at the top and pulled the bread or bagel through and it dropped out of the bottom when it cycled through.

I say we had one as too many freakin mouthbreathers (we have 1200 employees) would butter the bread before putting it through the toaster.

This would not only set their toast on fire, but everyone else’s that was in the machine at the time.

They walk among us.

Who needs a toaster when you have a propane torch?

How about this? Solid construction, works without electricity, extremely reliable.

Does it butter it too??

It not only butters it, it slices it and takes the first bite.

Just had some fresh bread hit. Oat and Molasses, kind like a Maritime bread that my grandfather used to make. I really have to get the toaster fixed! The male prongs are worn right down and I should make new ones. No timer on this one, so not a set and forget!

Toasters are for old bread

Toasters are for old bread

Pro tip.

Leave your fresh bread out unwrapped on the counter and in a couple days it magically becomes toast.

How about this? Solid construction, works without electricity, extremely reliable.

Used one of these camping for years when I was a kid.
