Default First they came for lightbulbs

Actually those advocating leaving the EU will not find that this stops this
kind of thing either, as in order to sell in the EU products will have to
comply and hence still be lower powered just the same, and of course as
China is the main source for toaster innards these days, the whole world
will get the same problem except where they are using a different mains
voltage of course.

As for self toasting toast. I thin this has been tried before and was
considered a bit of a failure due to it bursting into flames or tasting like
cardboard.

How *do* you make a toaster more efficient?


Given the state of modern "cooking skills", pre-packed toast ?


There's a patentable idea there.

Bread coated with a conductive film that gets hot in the microwave,.
toasts the bread and ablates off.
