This is probably not the kind of kitchen device you have on your cupboard these days. After all, what with all the other kitchen devices you can buy, an oven toaster may be the last thing on your list. But you might go wrong in turning your back on this Magimix Vision Toaster.

The Magimix Vision Toaster is a hot box with glass sides that lets you see its inner workings (i.e. your bread as it burns). It can fit two slices of American bread at once or even four slices of baguette. It lets you see how this device toasts your bread, and how it will pop them out. The good thing about this is that you can turn the toaster off once you see that the toaster breads are already good for your liking.

Buttons for the Magimix Vision Toaster include toast, bagels, reheating and defrosting. It also has a dial in the middle that you can adjust to your liking. The glass slides can be flipped out for cleaning, and then there is also a crumb-tray.

The Magimix Vision Toaster is available from Williams Sonoma for a startling amount of $350.
