How a Toaster Works

A toaster is an electric tool that is used usually for making toast. Also a toaster is something that needs to be plugged in for electricity and it has an automatic timer as well. There is a knob with numbers ,the numbers on the knob means how many minutes needed for the toast to be ready.

The main parts of a toaster is the crumb tray and the crumb tray holds the crumbs that fall from the toast. You need to empty the crumb tray regularly otherwise your toaster won't work and you might throw it out just because a little thing happened. Another main part is the steel rack, the steel rack holds the toast still so that it won’t drop or move around. The last thing you’ll want is a burnt toast and that will be a waste of money if you throw it into the bin. Last of all you need a thermostat, the thermostat activates the temperature when it reaches the right point.

A toaster works by a thick wire that heats up to brown the toast. The thick wire sleeps on the toast and that's how the toast gets brown or black. It also works by a spring that pushes out when the amount of heat that you have chosen has worn off. Then the spring hits the lever and it then pushes both the lever and toast up. There is also a bi metal switch that turns the toaster on and off.

In 2012 there was a toaster made to recognise the toasts colour shades and in 1990 they invented a toaster that can be controlled on the internet. The first electric toaster was made by a Scottish scientist named Alan McManes.

In conclusion I want to say that there are a lot of things about toasters they are not just an electrical device that toasts bread, it’s so much more than what you think. Remember don’t judge a toaster by it’s size always look through the inside first.
