It's appliance week.

It's called "Toastation." The most important feature to me is that it has a dial for toastedness. I have found that my morning bagel is a solid 4 on the dial.

I can get the same toastedness every morning, allowing for vagaries of humidity, ambient temperature, and thickness of bagel half due to uneven slicing (a sad truth, but it happens).

You will note that the Toastation is also black and silver, matching the DRX5 (vroom!) and our microwave (don't make me post a picture of that too).

I kept reading this as "toastsation".

You know, like, "It's toast. It's a sensation. It's a toast-sation!"

Maybe you had to be in my head for it to be amusing.

For some unknown reason I also wanted to mention that on the glass on the front of the oven it says IF CONTENTS IGNITE, KEEP DOOR CLOSED AND UNPLUG OVEN. I'm sure some lawyer is happy that is on there, but they have no idea how it makes consumers think EVERY TIME THEY USE IT that it might BURST INTO FLAME.

Wait. That picture is confusing. Does the bagel go in to the toaster oven part when you push it down? Behind the oven part? Is it bigger than it looks.

Why were you awake at 3:02 am?

Ahem.

There is a slot behind the oven part that works like a toaster. It's really just the back of the oven. It's bigger than it looks, the picture is only about two inches long.

I don't have a job, there's no reason for me to be asleep at 3:02. I drink more coffee now.
