Development of The Toaster

The toaster went through many steps of development before it reached its current stage. The first toasters only heated from one side, and the bread had to be turned manually to heat the other side. It wasn't until 1913 that Lloyd Groff Coleman and his wife Hazel Berger Coleman invented the first toaster that turned the toast to be toasted from both sides. The popup toaster, which automatically ejects the toast when they are done didn't appear until 1919 by Charles Strite, and it wasn't until 1925 when both options were made in the same toaster by Waters Genter Company.
