How do you like your toast?

Her good self is entirely correct.

If I wanted melted butter on bread I'd use melted butter.

I wave the toast around cooling it so you have the right ratio of melted to unmelted butter.

If I wanted unmelted butter, I would have untoasted toast.

You two animals would be a good match, waving toast around like the lunatics you are.

No surprise there, thread has suitably cooled down for your kind 🙄😅

Why limit oneself to one way of doing toast? Cold toast smeared with a good dose of butter and jam, hot toast drowned in butter and jam, hot toast with peanutbutter, cold toast with peanut butter, white toast moderately well done, brown soda well toasted, soda farl fried in butter on one side in lieu of toasting, crumpets, muffins, <insert toasty toaster clip here>

How one prefers one's toast is timeless.

Toasted banana and sugar sambo do in the sandwich maker 👌👌👌

Same! Real butter slathered on hot, marmite then a friend egg on top each slice . I’m not able for fry ups so this cures all hangovers for me :)

Exactly! :-)

Sometimes I go with marmalade on 1 half slice of toast and strawberry jam on the other half. A lovely selection. 🍞🍓🫙

Toasted.

This might upset some people - my wife almost gets angry with me for doing this - but I love toast (slightly cooled) buttered with a thin layer of marmite and a thin layer of honey!

The marmite should sit on top of the butter and not mix in with it too much and the honey should sit on top of the marmite and not mix with it.

A crunchy, savoury, sweet adventure!

What's going on with newfangled toasters these days. My last one lasted 14 years so I retired it and got a new one.

Got a Smeg for 157 or something ridiculous. I wouldn't mind but at the top setting it would just about do a decent browning but not even darkening of the toast. But what if you like well done toast to short of burning?. You would need to do the slice twice. All these new bagle settings etc but can you just brown the toast well?. It's inconsistent too with some parts of the slice pale and the others brown. And what's strange is all the heating elements don't turn red hot only random bars. Maybe its designed like that but I dunno.

So brought it back and with credit note I got a cheaper one for 119 called Sage Toast Select Luxe. Again unsatisfactory toasting from it. Switched up full and it hardly toasts it. And again all the elements don't light up. Again the heating elements are random. I'm sure someone can explain that one as not strange and part of some toasting algorithm.

It's very dissapointing and I've a good mind to bring this one back too.

Anyone finding similar issues with new toasters?. Could our toasters be throttled back in some way in the republic of Ireland or am I getting paranoid?.

And any reccomendations on 2 slice toasters that do the toast really brown?. And if I could push my luck do it really brown and not even be on the top heat setting?. Or is that a pipe dream in this day and age?.

Hmm, I think you put toast on your jam.

I have that Sage the last 3 years and it’s excellent, generally have it set to 4-5 to get a nice medium well done slice of toast. No idea what you’re doing 😅. For white bread it needs to be set ever lower to avoid burning.

I like my toast like I like my women

hot and consumable with butter.

I'm jinxed!. This is setting 6 for white. Barely brown and still white around the edges.

How brown do you want your toast 🤣

califano

Medium well. Sometimes well done. I'm wondering is any toasters capable of doing it like this without having to run it twice keeping watch.

mcburns07

Medium well above is on the brink of burnt….

CramCycle

Well done for me, mounds of real butter on top while hot. This said, I will eat almost any type of toast with any topping except fake butter. Fake butter, sooner it was just dry. My son loves fake butter, I am quietly ashamed.

Leg End Reject

Wholegrain bread medium-well with lots of real butter, sometimes with scrambled egg.

McCambridges bread well-done with lots of real butter and no-peel marmalade, or just butter and a soft boiled egg.

Both with tea, always put Knorr Aromat on eggs.

Is the "setting" not just the minutes in newer toasters?

Mine isn't exact but it's roughly 1,2,3.... minutes.

The Hill Billy

Yeah- my toaster settings represent minutes.

the beer revolu

The horror when in a hotel and you ask for brown toast and they bring toasted soda bread!

Cushtie

If I'm looking for a quick snack, nothing better than 2 slices, medium toasted, loads of real butter and a banana sliced on top. The sweetness of the banana and saltyness of the butter, nom?

Same

I can't have butter and jam together. One or the other is fine.

I don't like rare toast, well done is preferred. White sliced pan.
