It’s one of life’s mysteries.

Just stick your bread on a radiator

Crikey, how high do you have your heating on? I wouldn’t want your gas bill!

This. When you go in with slice 1 to a cold toaster it tends to under do it. This tempts you to crank up the power and slice 2 will overcook as the toaster is now over ‘normal’ cooking temperature. Then you dial it back down and you get a good cook on slice 3 because the toaster is now preheated. But left on this setting after the toaster has cooled you will restart the cycle of bad toasting. And on it goes.

I have this toaster, it is good:

Now I’ve looked at those and they do sound good, but I’m not sure I can quite stomach the thought of paying over 100 quid for a toaster. I guess it’s probably worth it in the long term if they last, though.

Yeah they are expensive but we’ve had ours for over 10 years though. In fact I can’t remember how long might be more like 15.

Hi friend

we bought this recently - its toasts bread fine and has a bagel mode which I like to use on muffins to only toast the inside and not the fluffy side

good luck fellow toaster enthusiast

I just sit on a couple of slices on my saddle when I’m doing the cyclisting.

Also works for steak.

Not recommended for bananas.
