Do they all have that silly, non resettable clockwork timer?

What do you mean by non-resettable? Certainly mine you just twist the
knob to 0 if you want to stop it prematurely.


My experience was of a 4 slice commercial unit. The knob could be turned
freely clockwise to set the period required but it could not be turned
easily anticlockwise to reduce the period if it had been set too high or
if it turned out the toast was ready earlier than expected to turn the
heaters off.

Attempting to turn the knob anticlockwise resulted in groans of pain and
opposition from the clockwork mech giving the impression that it didn't
like going in that direction.
