Toasting bread began as a method of prolonging the life of bread!. It was very common activity in Roman times, 'tostum' is the latin word for scorching or burning!. The first electric toaster was invented in 1893 in Great Britain by Crompton and Co (UK) and re-invented in 1909 in the United States!. It only toasted one side of the bread at a time and it required a person to stand by and turn it off manually when the toast looked done!. Charles Strite invented the modern timer, pop-up toaster in 1919!.

It depends on which kind of toaster you are asking about!. See below:
"It is unknown who invented the first electric bread toaster!. In 1893, Crompton & Company of the UK marketed an electric, iron-wired toasting appliance called the Eclipse, but the device appears to have failed in the marketplace rapidly, as even the Toaster Museum[2] has little information on the device!. (Early attempts at producing electrical appliances using iron wiring were unsuccessful, because the wiring was easily melted and a serious fire hazard!. Meanwhile electricity was not readily available, and when it was, mostly only at night)!. The first US patent application for an electric toaster was filed by George Schneider of the American Electric Heater Company of Detriot!. AEHC's proximity to Hoskins Manufacturing and the fact that the patent was filed only two months the Marsh patents suggests collaboration and that the device was to use chromel wiring!.[2] One of the first applications the Hoskins company had considered for chromel was toasters, but eventually abandoned such efforts to focus on making just the wire itself!.[3]

At least two other brands of toasters had been introduced commercially around the time General Electric submitted their first patent application for one, the GE model D-12, in 1909, "the first commercially successful electric toaster"!.[2]

In 1913 Lloyd Groff Copeman and his wife Hazel Berger Copeman applied for various toaster patents and in that same year the Copeman Electric Stove Company introduced the toaster with automatic bread turner!.[5] The company also produced the "toaster that turns toast!." Before this, electric toasters cooked bread on one side and then it was flipped by hand to toast the other side!. Copeman's toaster turned the bread around without having to touch it!.[6] Copeman also invented the first electric stove and the rubber (flexible) ice cube tray!.[5]

The next development was the semi-automatic toaster, which turned off the heating element automatically after the bread toasted, using either a clockwork mechanism or a bimetallic strip!. However, the toast was still manually lowered and raised from the toaster via a lever mechanism!.

The automatic pop-up toaster, which ejects the toast after toasting it, was first patented by Charles Strite in 1919!. In 1925, using a redesigned version of Strite's toaster, the Waters Genter Company introduced the Model 1-A-1 Toastmaster,[7] the first automatic pop-up, household toaster that could brown bread on both sides simultaneously, set the heating element on a timer, and eject the toast when finished!. By 1950, some high-end U!.S!. toasters featured automatic toast lowering and raising, with no levers to operate - simply dropping the slices into the machine commenced the toasting procedure!. A notable example was the Sunbeam T-20, T-35 and T-50 models (identical except for details such as control positioning) made from the late 1940s through the 1960s, which used a bimetallic beam structure to lower the toast; the inserted slice of bread tripped a lever to switch on the heating elements, and their heat caused the bimetallic pull-down mechanism to lower the bread!. When the toast was done, as determined by a small bimetallic sensor actuated by the heat passing through the toast, the heaters were shut off and the pull-down mechanism returned to its room-temperature position, slowly raising the finished toast!. As in most such toasters, one sensing unit controls the toasting of two (or four) slices, so the slot with the sensor is marked "ONE SLICE" because operating the toaster without bread in that slot will result in almost immediate shut-off as the heat from the heating element impinges directly on the sensor!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
