Once upon a time when toasters didn't need high tech computers, it was possible to get a perfectly toasted piece of bread from frozen. There was a bimetallic strip that sensed the temperature of the bread, so it would always be consistent. This made freezing bread much more practical
My toaster has a snowflake button that just toasts it for a little bit longer.
I'm not sure why technology hasn't improved toasters at all, and indeed made them go backwards. I guess the 80s and the age of microchips couldn't solve everything...
