I voted wrong! I meant to choose Butter while hot (real butter, white bread, toast that shit just golden, yeeeahhh)but I hit the first option instead. Just saying in case it's a close call.

"golden" is definitely the optimum toasting level, maybe a decent wholemeal/granary can't achieve said colour but i think it can reach the same level

Man, I think I am the polar opposite to you on this toast issue. Butter while hot - some kind of margarine type spread - brown bread - toast dark.

Using a toaster is way overrated. Soften the butter, butter the cold bread, grill it in a pan on the stove. Bread gets hotter and you've got better brownness control.

For whatever reason, there are times when you just can't go out back to grill. It's these times when you need to know the basics of broiling in your oven. There are similarities and differences that can make your broiling successful. Many recipes give instructions on the use of a broiler as an alternative to grilling, but they just don't explain the fundamental differences that you need to know.

Still trying to understand what equipment and method this involves east of the Atlantic. Is there any fat (butter/margarine/oil) applied to the outward facing side of the bread? If not, does the bread not scorch?
I remember when dubbed Iron Chef episodes came over here and they used "grilled" when they meant "baked." Fucking English language!

NB: the main reason supermarket white bread from a commercial bakery toasts up such an even golden brown is that it is formulated with a higher sugar content which helps increase its shelf life. Toasting, for example, a traditional baguette just cannot compete in that department. Different beasts.

like the bread browns too fast & the insides just steam so the toast gets soft right away when you spread butter etc... but if you turn up the heat it burns

My insistence on cooling the toast so that the butter doesn't melt in is sincere and one of my only irl foibles
I make a triangle of the slices to cool them the quicker.
It's because uniformity of butter or any comestible lubricant is not just boring but an actual travesty. Getting more than the fair share of the heartstopping stuff in any given bite is like a second Sunday in the week.
Not to mention that to make the toast soggy by melting yr butter on the hot surface is a desperate choice. Be reassured that I find your decision to do so as wrongheaded as you seem to view my methods, but I forego the self-indulgent urge to label you pisstakers on the back of it. For shame.

i don't eat cold toast but i generally let it sit for about 30 seconds in the toaster so it's not quite piping hot either - also if you transfer directly to a flat surface it gets soggy (which i guess everyone knows hence the existence of toast racks)
