Toast is one of my favorite breakfast foods, as many of you know. We've posted about pirate toast, and high-tech toast. Gearlog may soon need a Toast category, because I've found even more: a tunnel of toast.
The Mool Hood Toaster, a project by award-winning designer Atil Kizilbayir, takes toast to a new high-tech level. Simply place the toast into a rack on one end of the toaster and program your desired burn into the panel on the side. The rack, with your toast, then moves into and through the hood, which has the heating elements embedded on the inside. The slower the Hood Toaster moves, the toastier your toast becomes.
The Hood Toaster is just a design project, so like some of the other high-tech toasters we've seen, don't expect it to show up on store shelves anytime soon. Still, its presence would certainly make a futuristic addition to your kitchen.

Old hat stuff in a modern design. My dad bought a Toastolater in 1949, that transported toast through (between) heating coils, moving it at variable speeds along a 14-inch path so that the toast dropped out the far end. I kept the device in operation until the 1980's when I could no longer get parts.

David, you will not believe this, my in-laws got a Toast-o-later for a wedding gift in 1954. They have used it all these years, until today, when the Toast-o-later finally made it to our home. I cleaned it up carefully and my 5 and 6 year old grandchildren watched in awe as bread became toast. My husband told me that his best friend consumed 8 peices of toast just so he could watch the Toast-o-later do its magic.
