m&s high bran bread, avocado oil spread in place of butter: turns out not even a health kick can ruin toast

Cold toast? "So the butter doesn't melt"?? What's the point of any of that.

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.

used to love lightly toasted slices of baguette when I was a kid

But, despite tasting delicious, I'm pretty sure those baguette slices never achieved a perfectly even golden brown.

Oh yeah you're right
Fuckit having more toast
― wins, Monday, 27 February 2017 20:29 (seven years ago) link
toasters seem like they are a lot shittier now
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

yeah, plus my toaster doesn't even fit a full slice of most loaves - i know the obvious solution but i'm not made of money

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'm glad we finally talked more about this. For the past 2 years I've pondered the question of dmac's cold toast pretty much every time I've eaten toast.

My mum goes the cold toast route. It's inhumane, in my opinion.

does it get toasty up there
― F♯ A♯ (∞), Tuesday, 28 February 2017 18:10 (seven years ago) link
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)

I thought 'It's hardly worth a poll' immediately followed by a realisation that I Love Toast a lot more than I Love Music and they'll poll any ole shite without a care.
this was the real motivation ftp
