The problem of the heating element was solved in 1905 by a young engineer named Albert Marsh, who designed an alloy of nickel and chromium, which came to be known as Nichrome. However, the light bulb took advantage of the presence of a vacuum, something that couldn't be used for the toaster. A similar technical challenge had recently been surmounted with the invention of the first successful incandescent lightbulbs by Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison. The primary technical problem in toaster development at the turn of the 20th century was the development of a heating element which would be able to sustain repeated heating to red-hot temperatures without breaking or becoming too brittle.

The length of the toasting cycle (and therefore the degree of toasting) is adjustable via a lever, knob, or series of pushbuttons, and when an internal device determines that the toasting cycle is complete, the toaster turns off and the toast pops up out of the slots. A lever on the side of the toaster is pressed down, lowering the bread into the toaster and activating the heating elements. In pop-up or automatic toasters, a single vertical piece of bread is dropped into a slot on the top of the toaster. Glowing filaments of a modern 2-slice toaster
