Measure exactly how long your toaster takes

Unnecessary · Use what you have · Easy

Treat breakfast as a serious timing experiment and discover how repeatable your toaster really is. You will probably learn more about bread thickness than about science.

Do it

  1. Choose one bread type and one toaster setting.
  2. Use a stopwatch to time a full toasting cycle.
  3. Repeat the test a few times after the toaster has cooled.
  4. Record the times and any differences in browning.
  5. Make a tiny chart nobody asked for.

What next?

Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
