Etymology

The word 'toaster' originates from the early 19th century and is derived from the verb 'to toast', which means to make or become brown and crisp by heat. The first electric toasters were created in the early 1900s, with the first commercially successful model known as the Toastmaster being introduced in 1921. The appliance quickly gained popularity in American households due to its efficiency and convenience, making it a staple in kitchens. Over the decades, toasters have evolved from simple manual devices to complex machines with various features, including multiple settings for different types of bread and automatic ejection.
