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?

  • Turn the part-toasted bread round and put it back in the toaster?

    Thank you OW, I shall try and look out for one.

    I dont' have a problem slicing bread

    If I turn the bread around  I end up with light brown edges and a burnt middle, I like my toast quite well done and always have the setting quite high.

    No I can't adjust the oven rails, I've tried and as the oven door has to be shut whilst the grill is in use the toast either ends up raw or burnt.

    I've seen those mini grills and I don't have the work top space for one, I barely have enough work top space anyway, as I don't eat meat or fish I wouldn't use it for anything other than toast, but I fear others would and I don't want fish flavoured toast and blackcurrant jam, nor do I want to find sausage fat dripping off the pan, as far as I'm concerned thats a hanging offence!

    Why should it be so hard to find a toaster that takes a range of bread sizes? This is why I think they make them to be decorative rather than useful. Most won't take a full sized slice of supermarket bread, whats the point.
