Safety Protocols & Workshop Intelligence

Safety & Voltage

Always Unplug for Plate Changes

CRITICAL: Always unplug your toaster and allow it to cool completely before changing or inspecting the custom plates. Never insert metal tools or fingers into the toaster while it is plugged in.

International Voltage Warning

Our standard toasters are built for Standard US Voltage (110v-120v). Plugging a 110v unit directly into a 220v outlet (Europe, Australia, etc.) will cause permanent damage. You MUST use a heavy-duty Step-Down Transformer.

NATIVE 220V UNITS: We maintain a very limited supply of 220v EU-Native toasters.
Check EU Availability
Food Safety

The custom inserts are crafted from high-grade, food-safe stainless steel right here in Vermont. They are non-toxic, heat-resistant, and 100% safe. We do not use any chemical non-stick coatings.

Walden Workshop Certified

Delivery Target: End of May 2026. The factory has been fully funded, and production is officially underway. We have moved past the pre-order funding phase and are currently in the manufacturing and assembly cycle. You will receive email updates as we move through the process.

It's essentially "Silkscreening with Heat." You upload a photo, and I make a stencil to create a custom metal insert. The stencil creates a photo positive of your image on toast.

Your card is charged immediately at checkout. I am a small business relaunching an iconic product; these funds go directly toward marketing the relaunch, paying the bills, and keeping the Walden workshop fired up while we fulfill these orders.

Yes. If you move before the end of May, just use our Contact Form to update your address anytime.
