Buttering toast, straight away or wait until the bread is hard?

sexmag

What way do you all like to butter your toast?

Straight away so the butter melts into the bread making it go soft?

Waiting while the toast cools down and then buttering so it stays hard

I've always found both have a different taste to them

thread needs a poll.

Genuine question: why would you toast it and wait for it to cool? Just for the added crunch? For me, the point of toasting is precisely to make it warm and easy to slop with butter (and jam. Or cheese. Or garlicky mushrooms..... anyone else starving?)

What the **** kind of protestant bull**** is this? Leaving toast get cold. Get out!

Mr.Maroon

It depends - If I'm making a toasted rasher sandwich then straight away. If I'm just eating plain toast then I wait.

XsApollo

Either do it straight away or leave it get totally cold.

Nothing worse than in the middle half melted butter mush.

greenspurs

while hot... very hot.... hot enough so all the (real) butter melts... Unmelted butter, whilst allowable and eatable, is not that desirable compared to its melted version.


And in case anyone asks , the bread must be toasted brown, not that warm white colour!!

Everything has rules !! even toast making...…..

Tammy!

Lightly toasted and melted unless I'm having soldiers with eggs then loads of butter on it cold.

If im having toast with only butter then straight away so the butter melts. If making a sandwich with fillings then will wait till it cools a bit as not to ruin the fillings.

Snow Garden

Both depending on mood.

Rule #1 - Use pure Kerrygold butter. Do you use spreadable butter with all that palm oil muck.

Funny you mention Protestant toast, when we were kids we were always told the round end of a pan bread was the protestant end, so there was always fights with the brother over who got the Catholic end.

Oh and on the butter part, don't care once I can make teeth marks in it

SAMTALK

Just let it cool enough that the butter won't totally melt.

It's all about timing. Butter too quick and the butter will melt away. too slow and the toast will be too cold.

threetrees

I don't like melted butter, but I don't like hard toast. I like it a bit crunchy and cooled such that the butter doesn't melt, but the toast is still a bit warm.

Can you tell I don't let anyone make me toast? I'm a bit fussy!!

beejee

Chew the toast to a mushy pulp in your gob, then spoon in the butter.

This is a test. Those who wait for the toast to cool are obviously Lizard people.

Somewhere in the middle!
It also may depend on how hard the butter is!

Bobblehats

That’s cold man. Not hard

Immortal Starlight

Some like it hot. In my case the hotter the better. Then the butter goes on all smooth and golden. Gorgeous with a lovely hot mug of tea.

I love both. Cold toast that has gone slightly chewy is actually gorgeous.

Mad_maxx

Leave it a good five minutes before buttering

Anyone else toast bread single-sided (2 in one slot....... so to speak) and the form a wigwam* of sorts, so that the toast can cool down without getting soggy?

I'm fairly sure my Nana used to have a toast rack that looked like the part of a dish strainer you put your plates in. By that logic the idea would be to let it cool? That said I like my toast hot with melty butter

PsychoPete

I butter it straight away but the missus butters it then puts it back in the toaster for a few seconds to make sure the butter melts fully

Bobblehats

Flip it after 60 seconds each side, then season it

Put in tin foil allow to sit then pour the hot butter in. Thank me later

From the cardiac department?

kingtut

Warm with no butter. Delish!

IAMAMORON

It depends on my mood. If I haven't been getting any sex I mightn't even be hungry like.

One thing though, if the butter is only coming out of the fridge and the bread is overdone and cold there could be all sorts of trouble.

If its a fresh batch loaf i want it toasted hard as concrete and melted in to phuck.

Whatever. The secret is in emulsifying the toast and by the grace of god it’ll turn out ok

Toasting the bread on just one side is just deviant behavior. Even the Protestants wouldn't be that depraved.

Toast racks are designed to stop the toast going soggy by putting warm toast on a plate. The bread cooling is an unfortunate side-effect. While I understand why they use them in hotels because they'd be churning out so much toast at the same time, I can't see why anyone would have one at home as you'd usually just butter the toast as it's done.

Do you not end up with a pool of molten butter at the bottom of the toaster?

I generally eat brown bread with healthy seeds in it. It's alright and is marginally better for me, I think.

But the best toast is made with white bread, lightly toasted and buttered straight away with real butter. I'd sit and eat a whole sliced pan of it if I could.

There are some things that it’s good to wait till it’s hard. Buttering toast isn’t one of them.

Slightly off-topic but do any heathens on here get butter and mayo on their sandwiches?

branie2

straight away

tayto lover

I always butter right to left too. It improves the flavour.

The odd time on a hot chicken roll.

I usually ask for butter first and then pretend it was a mistake... if you shrug your shoulders at that point they usually don't notice.

I always have butter and ketchup on a brekkie roll. No messing around.

FunLover18

Cold toast with hard butter, I mean really!! You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Solid advice, on both counts.

Sting liked his toast done on one side.

Before pop-up toasters became widespread (70s/80s), it was very common to make toast under a grill or in front of an open fire with a fork stuck through it, so toast done on one side was an option and was quite popular. I haven't tried your method yet but I might.

The first toaster that I ever saw in real life, toasted bread one side at a time. It was a Breville brought back from France by a relative and wasn't a modern pop-up type.

Might be why the toasters don't last that long

ToddyDoody

I recommend straight away, then put it back under the grill to melt a bit more.

Arghus

Preferably straight away, but toast that's gone slightly cold by the time you butter it does have its own qualities. Isn't it wonderful that life is so full of possibilities?

I read somewhere recently that if u put a toaster on its side it turns into a handy toasted cheese maker. Not sure if it works but might be worth a try.
