Knife-Warming Toasters

The 'Sproaster' Prepares Toast and Knives for Easy Butter Spreading

Space is becoming more cramped in the modern kitchen as many consumers in urban areas move to smaller living spaces, which is increasing the demand for products like the 'Sproaster.' Conceptually designed as a toaster with a built-in knife block, the appliance will work to prepare your bread to the perfect level of doneness in the morning. It will also warm up the knives in the process to make spreading butter or margarine easier to preserve the integrity of the bread rather than create a crumby mess during the preparation process.

The 'Sproaster' is the design work of Lee Joon Taek and also works to save vital space on a counter by merging the traditional toaster with the knife block.
