Weirdly enough, "improve this toaster somehow" is one of the interview exercises my company uses the most. We give candidates 15-30 minutes to sketch a solution collaboratively with the interviewer. Answers are a great indicator (I think) of whether a designer ir engineer is user-focused and the ensuing discussion gives a lot of insight into their values and thought processes.

He has literally spent hours talking about toaster (...ovens) on various podcasts. https://www.caseyliss.com/2015/9/10/siracusa-on-toasters https://www.caseyliss.com/2015/9/10/siracusa-on-toasters. Spoiler: there are problems with many toaster ovens.
