How do toasters work?
All the answers I saw from googling, said toasters worked by timing. I'm sure that's how they worked when I was a kid, but I don't believe it of today's toasters - if that were so, then why does brown bread take so much longer to toast than white? I presume that, like microwaves, they have some kind of steam detector and that such things must have become, over the years, incredibly cheap. I read on one web page that in the USA you can buy a toaster for $US20 or less. Lucky soandsos: it would be hard to find one in Australia for less than $AUD50, and I'd expect $100.
