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?

  • I've a Dualit toaster and the slots are wider (but not longer) than average.

    I also have a bread maker and am a dab hand at slicing my bread very thinly with a sharp knife.

    I've only lost a few of the ends of my fingers.

    I then slice the bread again so halves go into each slot.

    I now want some toast but as it would only be halfway down my oesophagus by midnight I will resist.

    I don't own a toaster. Shame as I am now craving some toast. I make my own homemade bread at home, have this neat little mixer and the results are normally very nice, unless I do too much dough and it's very doughy then lol.

    Sorry about your fingers, you should invest in a professional bread cutter

    Might lose more than your fingers though if you slip.
