Remember this classic household item? Here’s its fascinating history!

The toaster, with its minimalist design and convenient functionality, was a marvel of its time. Unlike the modern toasters we use today, these appliances were placed directly over a stove burner. Bread was carefully placed on the metal grates and the heat from the stove toasted it until it was perfectly golden. Many of us may remember the slight anxiety of waiting for the bread to be toasted, hoping it wouldn’t burn, and the joy of finally spreading butter on a hot, crispy slice.
