SOOO Very tempted by this completely unnecessary appliance. (Toast!)

I most certainly do not NEED this item. In fact, it is also horribly inefficient, especially with a family the size of mine.

Nonetheless, I'm still tempted to get this, just for the fun of it. $270 toaster that toasts 1 slice of bread, perfectly.

The Japanese may be crazy in other ways, but I'm totally with them on loving toast.

Get two so you can make sammiches.

PS.  Did someone screw up on the exchange rate for the pricing or something?  I heard, but have no proof, that once upon a time there was some grand mixup between meters and feet in some transaction or another.  Stretching things, I could see $27.00 for a one-slice toaster.  American dollars, USD.

Keep it in the bathroom with your $9,000 Japanese electronic toilet.

If you'll look closely (as I have), given that it can make a double-width slice of bread perfectly toasted, I'm fairly certain it will make grilled cheese sandwiches.

However, they also have a recipe for an open-faced grilled cheese among their other documentations.*

Who has the yen for this?

A Japanese Yen is about $0.01.  Given the quote of 29-30 thousand yen, $270 sounds right.

Why complicate the issue with a wife?

I had to buy a new toaster recently so I got this one. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K2MDSCB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Perfectly good toast, enough for TWO sammiches at a time.

Forget those fancy shmancy Jap's and their fancy shmancy toaster, it's the HoLife for me.

"..it's the HoLife for me."

Phrasing?

<virtue signaling?>
Hey, about five yar ago I bought a two-slice toaster from Wal-Mart.  Less than US$10.  No jimcrackery, no nuthin'.  You put in one or two slices of bread, push the lever down, and a couple of minutes later it goes kerchunk and you get toast.
</virtue signaling?>

<engineering signaling?>
About every month I unplug it, walk it over to the sink, unlatch the bottom, shake and tap the *expletive deleted*it out of it, close the bottom, wipe it down, walk it back to where it lives, plug it in again, goo-ooood to go.  Then I rinse out the sink.

Counter footprint is about 4" X 10", 40 in².

Best brand name EVER. EVER!!!

You need a recipe for that?

OK, here goes:

Toast one slice of bread.

Place on (paper) plate.

Spray with olive oil.

Lightly sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder or any condiment of your choice, or none.

Place one or two slices of American Cheese thereon.

Place in microwave set for 10-20 seconds depending on power, "nuke" it.

Eat.

Dispose of paper plate.

I haven't used butter in the house in well over twenty years.  I'll have it in restaurants, but only 'cause it's impossible to get spray olive oil in a restaurant.

So it's a George Foreman Grill without the grill lines/marks ??

Of course not!


It's a Goerge Forman BRAISER.  Not a grill. Not at all. No.

And it's $270 for the grill.

Those Nips are nuts. Fried bread is where it's at.
