Student reinvents humble toaster

A Tyneside student is the toast of the kitchen appliance world after creating a device tipped to bring children back to the breakfast table.

Northumbria University student George Watson, 21, says he has re-created the humble toaster for the 21st Century.



His sleek, white ceramic machine called Glide, feeds bread through heated plates and pushes it out the other side onto an integrated toast rack.

He has scooped a top design award and has had interest from manufacturers.
