I've no idea why this question is in my head, however.
How much toast do you need to eat to make it more cost effective to buy a toaster rather than just use the grill?

A repairable flatpack toaster
Flat Pack Toaster Heats Up the Right to Repair
![<div><img alt="A stainless steel metal toaster sits on a white table. Its cord is draped artfully around to the front and the leftmost toast holding apparatus is rotated out from the front of the device like a book pulled down and out from a bookshelf." class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" height="533" src="https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/flat-pack-toaster.jpeg?w=800" style="margin: 0 auto; margin-bottom: 15px;" width="800" /></div><p>The toaster is a somewhat modest appliance that is often ignored until it stops working. Many cheap examples are not made to be easily repaired, but [Kasey Hou] designed a <a href="https://www.kaseyhou.com/#/repairable-flatpack-toaster/" target="_blank">repairable flat pack toaster</a>.</p>
<p>[Hou] originally planned to design a repairable toaster to help people more easily form an emotional attachment with the device, but found the process of disassembly for existing toasters to be so painful that she wanted to go a step further. By inviting the toaster owner into the process of assembling the appliance, [Hou] reasoned people would be less likely to throw it out as well as more confident to repair it since they’d already seen its inner workings.</p>
<p>Under the time constraints of the project, the final toaster has a simpler mechanism for ejecting toast than <a href="https://hackaday.com/2019/03/27/the-surprising-tech-of-a-cheap-toaster/">most commercial models</a>, but still manages to get the job done.

Today I rage-timed my kettle and toaster.
Well, I spend so much time these days thinking bad thoughts about rubbish technology, that sometimes I feel the need to stop, touch grass, and complain about some of the other rubbish things in life.
My #kettle takes a leisurely 5m30s to boil a measly litre of water.
My #toaster takes 4m15s to make toast.
I'd swear they weren't that slow when I was in my 20s, and when you're in your twenties 5 minutes is half a subjective hour.
It's as though they're trying to murder me 5 minutes at a time. 5th degree Timicide.
