Mine does bagels too, and POP TARTS! -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:42
But then, I don't have another appliance or kitchen element that would do 98% of the job of toasting bread. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 16:41 4
- the oven does work. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:42
- Exactly, the utility of a toaster hasn't be matched by hot water and a pot. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:42 2
  - but you can eat bread perfectly well without toasting it. you can't eat rice without cooking it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:44 1
    - Gretchen, stop trying to make "toaster" happen. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:45
but what can your toaster do that my oven can't? -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:41 15
- be thrown into a bathtub to electrocute someone -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:43 4
  - HEe -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:45
  - much like making toast, it'd just take a bit more work. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:44 2
    - Hair dryers will work. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:45 1
      - you mean a shrink wrap gun? :)))) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:54
- ever tried toasting bread in an oven? It takes a long time and a shitload of energy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:42 9
  - and your odds of burning it are high -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:43 7
    - the rice cooker is to rice as the toaster is to toast. it's semi-automated, simple, and makes a predictably better product. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:45 6
      - Yup. - musubi Jan 14, 16:55
      - and takes much more time to clean. I will keep using the pot until someone invents that thing on Star Trek that makes food -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:47 4
        
        I always burn rice in a pot, so that's harder to clean. If I ate rice a lot, I would get a rice cooker. - loosilu Jan 14, 16:48 3
        
        and even so, since those ancient disasters, you have learned from Alton Brown how to cook rice :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:56 1
        
        I don't think I've made rice in a decade. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:59
        
        you people are making my points for me about energy, cleaning, and only buying only if you feel you need -- nm - zork Jan 14, 16:52
  - And the bread either gets burnt or dry and not toasted. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:43
