How *do* you make a toaster more efficient?


You bring the elements nearer to the bread.


But the element to bread distance will change what the toast is like.

If the elements are *very* close to the bread (and hot enough) you get
a black outside and a soggy inside to your toast. If they're a long
way away you just get dried bread that isn't brown at all.

Actually burnt bread (and protein for that matter) creates
carcinogenic subtances.
