AKIPRESS.COM - Supercar maker Bugatti has branched out into breakfast machines with the Noun, a toaster with heated glass walls capable of cooking not only bread, but everything from steak to chicken breasts, Times Live reported.

The Noun's cost is $1,000.

Bugatti says that the secret's in the sauce. Layers of semiconductor heating elements sandwiched within the glass controls the temperature and spreads the heat (up to 500-degrees) evenly. It not only looks like a toaster from a 1960s science-fiction film, but it acts like one too.

A wireless Bluetooth component links to smartphones via the Noun app, this adds a further layer of control to the cooking. The app searches for recipes and adjusts temperature and cooking time accordingly.

The Noun's semiconductor glass took Bugatti's engineers over two years to develop. Because there's no traditional heating element with its snaking heated wire, food is always cooked evenly.

This is not Bugatti's first stab at a toast machine though, as it also gave us theVolo, which looks not unlike a chip-fryer.

Pending regulatory approval, Bugatti aims to bring the $1,000 Noun to the U.S. in 2015.
