Someone recently asked me what is most energy efficient way to turn bread into toast, well I know it's not the microwave, it can't be convection or even conduction - so is the answer really radiated heat and what type of radiated heat? One question led to many others - any ideas?
Originally posted by CampaignerThe problem here is that toast is only toast when crispy on the outside. We need the heat just to take effect on the surface, so radiation is a good source.

Probably the horizontal toaster is more efficient than the vertical one, if you consider the heat losses .
