It's fine to start out with the intention of just using a stock toaster, but before you know it, you'll have a lot of extra money into it. You really won't want to get rid of either it or the toaster oven that you have a lot More money into... but after 2 horrific kitchen accidents, you probably will be best off to move away from the cooking thing. After selling those toasters on Craigslist, no doubt you will regret it, but for now it will be best.

I know what you mean. I have a vintage Sunbeam toaster. I boosted the resistors for better performance, but it through off the timing and burned my toast.

Nice. It's hilariously bad in retrospect, but that makes in kind of endearing imho.
The problem with a toaster for cooking steaks is the ability to regulate the heat control. You would need a DIY controller that you could program to bring the heat up gradually and then back off after a good sear. Something with mapping capability. Hmmmmmm....
