With simplicity in mind, Adi Zaffran was able to create a functioning toaster using cement blocks rebar, wire, wood and fasteners.
“The pita bread as a staple food led me to the use of simple and basic building materials,” says Zaffran, “It is very easy to make out of ready-made cement block.”
There aren’t any details that reveal how the rebar is heated, but the presence of a cord implies electricity is involved. Check out an additional photo after the break.
NBC/Syfy currently has their Caprica Graystone toaster on sale for only $19.99. That’s 69% off the list price. A pretty great deal for a toaster that will burn an image of a Graystone U-87 Cylon right on your breakfast.
The grilled cheese toaster hack that we featured last week seems like a great idea, but a fundamental flaw has come to our attention.
Take a look after the break to see what we mean.
We’ve talked about how easy it is to make grilled cheese sandwiches by simply tilting a toaster (that doesn’t feature a wire cage) on it’s side, but here’s a tasty shot of the technique in action.

The “Roastie” by Polish designer Mateusz Glówka is a circular toaster which features rotating heat elements which toast bread evenly, rather than leaving the uneven toast marks currently found with today’s devices. The Roastie is also reported to toast your bread in a shorter time than most conventional toasters while also providing a transparent sphere which not only shields the user from high temperatures, but also allows for constant supervising of toasting progress. The design is only a concept at this point, but hopefully it will be on the market soon.

Jamie Oliver has a tip for making quick and easy grilled cheese sandwiches in the toaster without creating a cheesy disaster inside the machine.
All you need to do is turn a toaster on its side and slide a piece of bread with cheese in one slot and a plain piece in the other. Of course, this method won’t work if you have a toaster with a wire cage.
I might also add that you can buy some of those toaster bags designed for this purpose and keep your toaster right side up.

We’ve seen a SpongeBob sandwich maker before, but this awesome pop-up toaster doesn’t seem to be available for sale. Shame, because toast is often soggy under the sea.
