      Eh, if your toast looks like that, whip up some eggs, milk, a bit of vanilla extract, a bit of sugar, a bit of ground cinammon, and optionally a bit of salt…

      Place that toast in your mix bowl for a few seconds, flip it over, few more seconds, then remove…

      And now you have some excellent French toast.

      The bits of slightly burned parts juat give it a more complex mouthfeel.

        You… toast it and then egg wash it, and then eat it without cooking the egg…?

        I mean that sounds nasty af to me, but you do you :)

          It can work that way, yes.

          Its not as tasty or fluffy as egg washing the bread and then baking or cooking it, but if you … braise the toast lightly, or alter the proportions of your very well stirred mix for immersion… yeah, it can work, and at least some people I grew up with prefferred it that way.

          You can also use a heavy cream in additiom to, or even instead of milk, again, gotta change the proportions of your mix to get the desired taste and viscosity from the mix.

      Does it always include the watermark? I didn’t realize toasters were snobs for copyright but it makes sense.

      Only if it comes from an Einback! Signed, an American with good German language knowledge and missing cultural knowledge who had a bunch of trouble getting toast initially in Germany. I was told in a restaurant to go to a bakery if I wanted toast, and was then very confused when I was given a loaf of untoasted white bread.

      I get it now, but English words that mean different things in German just felt unfair at the beginning.

    I appreciate the sacrifice to show us this beautiful toast, knowing that to wait and take a photo would render it cold and therefore bad toast.

      I’ve gotta be honest… slightly cold toast that doesn’t immediately absorb the butter is sort of right up my alley

      What? How long does taking a photo take?

      Since when has toast run on new car devaluation rates?

  • Toast or pan fry?

    I don’t know why it’s so hard for toaster to toast evenly, but every toaster I’ve ever had is incapable of such even toasting.

    I prefer a tad darker btw, little bit more caramelized.

        Literally just a fried slice of bread. You know how good the bread gets in a cheese toastie? All crisp and buttery? You can do that even if cheese isn’t involved.

        A peanut butter and strawberry conserve sandwich fried in butter is one of those delicacies you can only really eat a few times in your life without turning into an elephant, but it’s worth the risk.

    On sight of the immaculate toast, I would turn to stone as my animating vis acknowledges it has completed its purpose in this form and moves on.
