A toaster can be either of :

  • A small appliance for the browning of bread into toast. Electricity is converted to heat in a series of wires which creates heat to partially char the bread. AN adjustable thermostat in the system releases a catch to pop the toasted bread up when a certain temperature is reached.
  • An electronic/software system (Video Toaster) for the editing and production of standard-definition and high-definition video in NTSC, PAL, and resolution independent formats on personal computers running a Windows operating system. It allows video switching, chroma keying, character generation, animation, and image manipulation.

There are several heater elements in the toaster. An electrical current in the heater element toasts the bread. A thermostatic switch or timing device automatically controls the toasting process.

Electric current flows through specially formulated wires inside the toaster that heat up with out burning up. This heat causes the toast to brown. These are "live" wires and if you come in contact with them directly or by inserting a metal object like a knife into the toaster, while it is on, you will get a shock.

It heats the wires so the toast cooks
