Why were toast racks invented?
1 Answer
Toast racks were invented to hold hot toast on the table once it was done toasting. The gaps in the rack helped the toast to stay crisp, rather than grow soggy as steam rose out of the other pieces of toast. Browse 1stDibs to find an array of toast racks from top sellers.
