tracking my toaster

Last week I found myself googling the phrase ‘toaster oven makes loud popping sound smells like burning but food is not burned’ (not the most useful search phrase, to be honest). As one might imagine, it did signal the demise of my trusty toaster.

(I was ready to do some testing, FOR SCIENCE. Just to make sure it was really a demise, and not a fluke. But then I read a worrying number of consumer complaints about the glass door exploding on my exact model of toaster, and decided to let it go.)

So now a new toaster is en route! Right now it’s passing through the shipping hub of the east coast (shoutout to Hebron!), and I’m very excited. I didn’t think about how much I used the toaster until it was out of commission.
