This is amazing. Keep up the good work. I'd be quite happy if governments would give small grants to this kind of every day useful research. I personally eat large amounts of toast so this is an issue very close to my heart. Here in the UK toast is often balanced on it's side against something to avoid this. I believe you can also buy a small toast rack for this purpose. (However I often fear that this cools the toast too quickly.)

I'd be interested to know next if it's possible for the plate to be too hot?
