If you’re bored with your regular everyday toast with butter and jam, why not bring a bit of culture to the breakfast table with some toast art?

This nifty scan toaster by designer Sung Bae Chang, will transform your plain piece of bread into an art canvass, and the best thing is, you can still eat it.

This toaster is easy to use, as an appliance you need to operate first thing in the morning should be. It doesn’t need an electricity socket to short-circuit as a regular toaster would, but instead will connect to your PC via USB.

Once hooked up, the Scan Toaster will download the design for your piece of toast. It has the ability to download everything from the weather and current time to the latest news headlines. What better way to catch up on the news than by biting into it as you go?

So just how does the latest interest cut make its way onto your Wonder White? Inside the toaster is a network of toasting “modules”, which are heated by a hot wire. Once you decide what you want depicted on your toast the modules become aligned and toast the appropriate content onto your bread.

Despite the Electrolux branding, there are no plans for this to hit the mass market, which is a pity as it’s time for kitchen appliances like to toaster to reach a new generation.
