Toaster Central just shipped off some kitchen props headed for New South Wales, Australia where filming starts in August for Baz Luhrmann's movie of The Great Gatsby, in 3-D no less, a first here at Toaster Central.

Toaster Central supplied a gorgeous 1930s commercial waffle iron for the new HBO series Mildred Pierce. I haven't seen it, but hear it appears in episode three at least.

You can see a CAT scan of my Sunbeam egg cooker created by artist Satre Stuelke on his web site Radiology Art. He lives down the street while going to medical school at Cornell. I met him after an article about his work was in the NY Times.

Toaster Central was included in the October 2008 issue of Saveur Magazine, devoted to breakfast. Thanks to Paul Love.

Toaster Central got a nice write up in the Christian Science Monitor.

Doug in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania bought this toaster and wrote to say
Just wanted to drop a note and let you know that the Polytron toaster arrived in good condition yesterday and I am suitably impressed. I am an antique/vintage appliance lover at heart, but this one has restored my faith that there are quality made modern small appliances still available, you just have to get commercial-duty ones to get it. With the number of people that complain that they only get 2-3 good years out of a new pop-up toaster at best, I wish they would be willing to spend the money on a unit like this if they were serious about finding a quality long-lasting unit. In any case, thank you very much for the excellent service in providing this toaster to the general public.
