Siemens Porsche Toaster

It's a toaster from Siemens and Porsche and it means serious toasting business. The TT911P2 2-Slice automatically adjusts itself to the thickness of the bread, has an LED display that counts down until the toast is ready, has 11 different degrees of browning, and it can remember which one was used last. The quartz heating element is one of the most efficient available, plus it has cool wall technology, variable browning, and of course a crumb tray. All that plus it's styled like something out of a space ship. £99

Soft boiled eggs are not at the height of breakfast food fashion at the moment, but anyone who enjoys toast and eggs in the morning will tell you that it is hard to beat the runny yolk of a soft boiled egg. To properly dip the toast, the egg must be held upright in a little cup and this Belle/Bon Egg Cup even comes with a small spoon for scooping out the egg. The set, which includes the cup and spoon together, was designed by Konstantin Grcic and is made of hand-painted porcelain in blue, yellow, green, grey, pink or black. Price: $400.

A Rare Rarebit

Filed under: Dining, Auctions

A British chef has concocted what is, essentially, an incredibly expensive cheese on toast. Tom Bridge's version of the usually frugal dish known as rarebit, or cheese on toast, is dressed up with L'Aquila White Umbrian truffles and matsutake mushrooms on top of Warburtons Toastie white bread and Lancashire cheese. The toast and cheese are the ordinary ones that Bridges uses in his home. The asking price is £345, or about $600, and the chance to have Chef Bridge make it for you in your own home will be auctioned off on eBay.
