And my point is that the subjective "doneness" of bread does still exist, even if an absolute one doesn't. And that subjective "doneness" is achieved using simple and repairable mechanical parts, rather than black-box electronics that need to be replaced if they have failures, and work on functions of related metrics, rather than on direct metrics of the subject, itself.
If you want to use a $10 toaster, more power to you! If you want to imply that this toaster can't possibly measure and achieve "doneness" of toast, I disagree. It does so in a subjective way, based on a variable input controlled by the subjective preferences of the user, but what it measures is how closely to that subjective "doneness" it is. Nothing impractical or dishonest about that description at all.
- renewiltord 3y agoI found the device on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/115950183748 https://www.ebay.com/itm/115950183748 Which lever or handle does one use to adjust the intended doneness? Seems like a cool device but I can’t quite figure it out from the pictures.
- catapart 3y agoIt's very hard to see from that listing's photos, but there is a darkness knob just underneath the black handles, itself also colored black. When you look at the device from underneath, it's pretty obvious to see it, but it's not visible in any of the photos from that specific listing. Here's a listing with the same T-20 designation that shows the knob: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305337386341?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D8bc4c1e44018476396817df402b3201a%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D115950183748%26itm%3D305337386341%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWebV9BertRefreshRanker%26brand%3DBrand&_trksid=p4429486.c101224.m-1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/305337386341?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DI... And here's another listing with the T20 designation (T20A, this time, instead of B), which also has a decent shot of the knob: https://www.ebay.com/itm/116014045221?hash=item1b02f9d825:g:gIsAAOSwTr1lgKJz https://www.ebay.com/itm/116014045221?hash=item1b02f9d825:g:...
- renewiltord 3y agoThank you. That’s pretty neat. So you set the spring tension on the bimetallic strip?
