toast

[mollykins]

Is it just me, or could it be because other people have different kinds of toast but . . .

. . . is toast that's made in a toaster crunchier than toast done using a grill?

Not making it up, I promise! I find it hard to stop at 2 slices - oh, and you need loads of Marmite, as it helps cut the peanut butter...

[mccfluff]

marmite and peanut butter is lush!

to get really crunchy toast in a toaster, you have to blanch it first - like you would a chip!

crisgal, wouldn't that break the toaster, how can you dry it properly?

[Mamyalynne]

I think in this case blanching is meaning to lightly toast first,, let cool then give it a blast on full to crisp up.

[mollykins]

Ahhh, that would make more sense. Sort of like when people double fry chips (or triple in Heston's case).

[ummmm]

Toast under the grill is better. Toasters are just convenient...

[mollykins]

I like my toast to be evenly golden all over, which you can do under a grill.

[mollykins]

Quite frankly, i'm surprised I'm allowed to turn the grill on just to do toast, I mean all that electric it must use, it'd be a lot cheaper in the long run to buy a toaster.

[ummmm]

It takes much longer in a toaster than it does under a grill.
