Chicago, IL (AHN) - A Chicago-based product developer has come up with a transparent toaster which it claims could help "make burnt toast a thing of the past."

Inventables said its new toaster made of glass lets the person see the bread as it browns.

The product developer added that it lifted its idea from transparent heating glass technology, which enables the glass to generate enough heat to toast the bread.

Although the toaster enables the person to see the bread as it cooks prompting them to eject the slice at soon as it turns in the perfect color, it still has the traditional timer dial for those who are too busy to watch over their breakfast cook.
