How fancy are the electronics? Many may have a simple CPU and
programming. Also, I think federal standards require an automatic
shutdown after a certain amount of time to prevent fires.

Maybe all of the above. A uP could also vary the heating time based on
the initial temperature of the toaster element.

This toaster actually sniffs the toast:
