Question

What is the best kind of bread to use? Which method makes the most lively toast?

Community Answer

Lively toast? Anything with an abundance of seeds is great. Pumpernickel bread is tasty. Rye toasts nicely. Crusty bread is good but don't toast until it burns. Have some fun and buy different bread varieties to test out for yourself -- that way, you'll find out exactly what you like most and it'll be sure to be available where you live.

Question

Can I put it in the microwave?

Community Answer

No. Microwaves don't work quite the same as toasters, so you'll just have very tough bread in the end.

Question

Why is my toaster making black smoke?

Community Answer

It needs to be cleaned. There is debris stuck either in the bottom of the toaster, or on the sides, filaments, etc. Sometimes the debris will just burn itself off, sometimes it's possible to clean it out, and sometimes you just need to get a new toaster.

Question

What is the best way to prepare Texas toast? Can I use the bagel setting on my toaster?

Community Answer

Texas Toast is actually cooked on a griddle, not in a toaster. Lay piece of bread on a seasoned flat top grill and you have Texas toast. Some places also use a bit of butter on the grill itself to keep the bread from burning and sticking to the grill. You can also add seasonings, like garlic, or melt cheese on top for more variety.

Question

Can I add cheese as a topping?

Community Answer

Yes! I would recommend heating up a frying pan, placing your bread inside, and sprinkling it with cheese. Put the pan's lid on for a minute or two and let the cheese melt.

Question

How fast will toast cook in a solar oven?

Community Answer

There is no way to tell how fast the toast will cook due to the way each particular solar oven works or how much sun you have in the area. But, if you have a good solar oven set up with complete exposure to the sun, it will probably take about ten minutes.

Question

Will it work faster if I put it in a bathtub full of water?

Community Answer

No, besides having very soggy toast, toasters in a water bath will cause an electrical fire.
