The Evolution of Toasters | The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation

Mo Rocca talks with Jeanie Miller, curator of domestic life at The Henry Ford, about the evolution of toasters. Toasters weren't always of the pop-up kind. Some of the earliest toasters were apparatuses that used heat from a fire to toast bread.
The first electric toasters were invented in 1910. However, they didn't become popular until the 1920s, when more homes were being built fit for electricity.
The pop-up toaster made its debut in 1926 with the Toastmaster. It would take another 23 years until the first fully automatic pop-up toaster was introduced.

I miss my toaster. I live in a condo and the smoke from the slight burning of the toast sets off the over sensitive fire alarm. We now use a "toaster oven" but that machine is just crap in comparison to a good ol' toaster.

Electric is the best then those fire archaich weirdos. 😆 The pop ups are scary annoying to me & push down. The sunbeam that was made in the 60s & stopped in 1997 just saw on a video here is what I want. It is silent & self rising.
