Toasters are the best things to have ever happened to the sliced bread introduced by Chillicothe Baking Company. Today, toasters are considered a must-have appliance for both homes and offices. It is a typical household device, but where did it come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will concentrate on the invention and innovation of the toaster. There are four main toaster categories – the toaster oven, convection toaster, conveyor toaster, and pop-up toaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a brief history of when the toaster was invented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bread toasting process has been happening for years now, long before it was known as toasting. According to history, toasting bread began 6000 years ago in ancient Egypt<\/strong>. Toasting was used to preserve bread allowing it to last longer and make it palatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egyptians used open fire to toast their bread. Toasting bread on open fires is a practice that is still done to date, but many people consider it a camping hack and not for everyday use. In 1893, a Scottish man disrupted the toasting practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan Macmaster<\/strong> is recorded as the first to invent the first electric bread toaster. This toaster is known as the Eclipse Toaster<\/strong>. It was the first toaster in history that did not need accessories to function. This toaster was sold and marketed under Crompton Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All early toasters before the Eclipse Toaster needed an extra accessory to function properly, including the first electric toaster. Some of these accessories included a toasting fork that was used to flip the bread and remove it once it was ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan Macmaster’s toaster was made of iron wiring and a metal frame that would toast bread one side at a time. Once one side was done, all you had to do was flip the slice of bread. This would expose the untoasted side of the bread to the heating element to toast that side, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Eclipse Toaster was better than everything there in the past, it was not convenient. But it did get the ball rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolution Of Toaster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Macmaster’s Toaster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When Alan Macmaster introduced the world to the first electric toaster in 1893, it was nowhere near perfect. But it served its purpose of toasting sliced bread. One of the main flaws of the Macmaster toaster was that it did not have a proper heating element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bread toaster used an element that was not heat-resistant. This meant that you could not use the toaster over again without replacing the heating element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
