Toast the way you want it: Student's invention comes with a colour-sensor instead of a timer

A toaster which can cook bread to a person's exact preferred shade of brown has been invented by a student. The 'Hue' smart toaster has been designed by Basheer Tome, 21, after he grew tired of having to hover over unreliable toasters only for his bread to emerge burnt to a crisp. The new toaster ditches traditional time settings in favour of a state-of-the-art colour-sensing method to ensure the bread inside never burns.

When the bread is put into the toaster an electronic screen on the machine displays the colour of the slice as it is. A circular touch-display screen gives the user the various shades of brown they can select for their toast and even shows them the colour it will be when cooked.
