Which best explains why an electric toaster is considered a resistor?

A toaster uses a pair of rigid insulating sheets with nichrome wire winding back and forth across the sheet, one on each side of each slot. The nichrome wire on these sheets form very high wattage air cooled resistors, when electricity flows through these wires they glow red hot (see image above) producing the heat that toasts the bread from both sides.

Why does a toaster draw a lot of current?
all electric heaters draw a lot of current (voltage times current = watts [or power]) and a toaster heats bread (no it toasts Bread)
What did William hadaway invent?
William Hadaway invented the electric stove in the year 1891 Than next he invented the toaster in 1910.
What is the current running through a resistor of 9 ohms with volts of 90?
I = E / RIf the voltage across the resistor is 90 volts, and the resistance of the resistoris 9 ohms, then the current through the resistor is90/9 = 10 Amperes.Don't try this at home!The power dissipated by the resistor is E2/R = (90)2/9 = 900 watts. That's comparable to the power (heat) dissipated by a small toaster. A common composition resistor will get hot and possibly explode if it's asked to dissipate that kind of power.
What was the first commercial electric motor?
The first commercially-successful electric motors were made around 1873 by Zenobe Gramme, a Belgian engineer. His electric generators (dynamos) were based on machines invented by Italian physicist Antonio Pacinotti in 1860.

How does electrical energy produce a form of energy we use?
It can be run through a resistor to produce heat, as in a convector heater, tumble dryer, toaster. It can be used to run electric lights, and it can be used to drive electric motors that produce mechanical energy.

Why is it called toasting a marshmallow when it does not go in a toaster?
The toaster is a device that toasts, but toasting was done long before the invention of the electric toaster. Toasting on an open fire is undoubtedly the earliest method, which predates the electric toaster by countless thousands of years.
