Mod a toaster and have retro art toast for breakfast

Step 8: Final words and a few advices

Use plain Aluminum or stainless steel only: do not used painted tin as I did for my cookie cutters as heat here would transfer paint or finishing on your meal!
Try to avoid elaborate shapes: details will not show up
The toaster makes the difference: the larger the heating resistance the more uniform the drawing will be; try smaller bread slices or larger prongs (and toaster)
When you are tired of a shape, just remove it and do another one.

A final one: you don't need a toaster at all: just lay the Aluminum shapes on a pan and put your bread slices on it or, even better, use a press toaster.
You can also print a slice of meat.

Buon appetito !

I would come to your house JUST for the toast!! I'll try to get permission to do this XD

[RandomTeeVee]

question:

wouldnt the aluminum sheet in which you used to make the print on the toast cause the toaster to explode or something since metal shouldnt be in the toaster?

thanks!

(btw this is awesome)

your thinking of microwaves you cant  put metal in thoose it messes it up, but for toasters the things that heat the toast are metal also toasters just heat so metal is okay in the toaster

[seabananers]

yeah in a microwave it some sort of magnetic waves or somethin

[builder968]

If you put aluminum in the microwave, you see sparks and bolts of electricity dance across the foil, melting the metal. If you leave this going on for too long, the bolts will get bigger and bigger- until, finally, it blows up in your face, your kitchen is on fire, and you're in the hospital being treated for burns and shock.

its called a microwave because it uses microwaves to heat up anything in there

[MatthewEnderle]

It's called a microwave because it uses microwaves to accelerate the little tiny water particle in an object. The more water > the more heat due to friction. So a microwave will not heat anything up alone.

(looks in toaster) there seems like a lotta metal in my toaster ....

[kenexinator]

(looks in toaster) i dont know but there's a whole lotta metal in my toaster

[5Volt]

It would be great if it could explode : that would be even more fun !
Well no, just kidding. Of course your comment is appropriate as nothing should be put inside the toaster except what is supposed to. The issue can be approached safely though if the sheet is placed carefully (inside the prongs and not outside as an example). I think that the intructions and some common sense can make a good safe "pac man" toaster. Again, we're dealing with high voltage and help from some knowledgeable friend must be welcome .
Thank you

This looks great! I was wondering could this be done with regular household tin foil?

Very Cool!!

[cvill]

This is more hard core!
There is a guy in japan who makes art on his toast. Uses aluminum foiland an oven toaster though.

[PENIX]

I think most mode I see are stupid, but this one is a definite exception.

[adnimo]

But eh.. you only get half a toast...

[miiwii3]

not unless you put the sheet on both sides

[adnimo]

Using thinner aluminum you should be able to get a better toast, albeit less clear finish but a better toast nonetheless, which is why you're toasting the bread to begin with.
