That’s a bad demo, as toast takes high power for a very short time.

Just about any human in decent health could probably cycle long enough (with effort) to charge a battery to provide the requisite energy (over the course of, say, 30 minutes) and then output that energy at high power to toast over 3-4 minutes.

I don't think thats much of an improvement. If it takes you 30 minutes to power a single appliance for 3 minutes its not a very useful idea.
