toaster
An electric kitchen appliance used to toast slices of bread with heat.
Der Geruch von frischem Kaffee und Toast aus dem Toaster weckte mich am Morgen.
The smell of fresh coffee and toast from the toaster woke me up in the morning.
The word 'Toaster' is derived from the verb 'toasten' (to toast). In German, the ending '-er' often denotes a device or a person that performs a particular action—here, the device that toasts.
Mein alter Toaster ist kaputt, ich brauche einen neuen.
My old toaster is broken; I need a new one.
When you put bread into the appliance, you use the preposition 'in' with the accusative. When the toast is ready and you take it out, you say 'aus dem Toaster' (out of the toaster).
Steckst du mir bitte eine Scheibe Brot in den Toaster?
Could you put a slice of bread in the toaster for me, please?
Common verbs used with 'Toaster' are 'etwas in den Toaster stecken' (to put something in the toaster), 'den Toaster einstellen' (to set the toaster), and 'etwas aus dem Toaster nehmen' (to take something out of the toaster).
Du musst den Toaster auf eine niedrigere Stufe einstellen, sonst verbrennt das Brot.
You need to set the toaster to a lower setting, otherwise the bread will burn.
