Took the new plug-in Daewoo range for a road toast this morning. Realising they weren't very good at making cars, the engineers wisely turned their attention to the most important meal of the day (woo).
I can confirm rumours of 'browning anxiety' (toast, not trousers) are unfounded. Not forgetting their roots, the kettle has a dashboard; 15 - 100°C in 117.5 seconds
