New toaster

TheCatWoman

I need a new toaster and finding one is doing my head in, why are they all so short, most won't take a wharburtons toastie sized piece of bread and using a bread machine my slices tend to be bigger or taller, most won't even toast a slice from a small supermarket loaf properly! Whats the point of them are they supposed to be ornamental or something? The grill on the cooker is in the oven and you have to have the door shut for it to come on at all and the bread's to far away from the hot bit, so it takes ages and then burns.

Short of ripping the entire cooker oout and getting one with a proper seperate grill, how do I get a proper piece of toast?

    find a way to raise the tray closer to the heat source.

    can you adjust the rail heights in the cooker? If not consider placing a skillet to pot / pan under the tray to lift it.

    You will need to keep a close eye on it the first few times until you get used to how long it take to toast.

    They are all deigned for what the masses eat - supermarket loafs. Stodgey white rubbishness on the whole (and the bread isn't much better LOL).

    Your bread machine is the oddity so it is best to adapt to make the most of it as the flavour is so much better.

    For a while I toasted my bread in a dry frying pan - not as good as a toaster but works in a pinch and if you have a favourite spread it can really melt if in there (also works well for cheese if you can eat it).
