Re: Waaaaaayyy OT: Toast


I've got a Windmere toaster with four wide slots. There is a constant
battle with the adjustment knobs, though there is a knob for each
half. I prefer my toast on the dark side, and everybody else prefers
it in varying shades down to slightly warm bread.
I've never particularly fancied having a toaster oven. So no help to
you there.

Ok, I'll admit it. I'm a big toast fan. In fact, I'm kind of a fanatic
about toast. I'll eat it at all hours of the day or night. It's comfort
food; with peanut butter, it's a quick pick me up. I love toast.

My 15 year old B&D toaster oven died a few weeks ago. It made perfect
toast. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

I have always liked a toaster oven for toast, I think it makes the best
toast.

I have had 2 toaster ovens in my house since the old one died. The first
one, a Black and Decker similar in style to the old one took 8 minutes to
make a piece of toast. That's about twice as long as the old one took.
Unacceptable!


I thought, ok, times have changed. I am not going to find a great toaster
oven for $30 again. I bought a GE toaster/convection oven. Thought this is
going to work great.

Nope! You had to set the timer every single time you make toast. No way to
get that dial in the same spot every time. Back it went.

Came home with a huge GE Halogen toaster oven. Digital, you have to punch
"toast" twice and "start" to get it going, but that's not so bad. Made
pretty good toast, but it took 7 minutes.

Am I destined to have bad toast with cold tea forever?

What do you all use.
