OT: Toasters

[temery]

No running mega threads. They quickly become a conversation between a 1/2 dozen people that make no sense.

Check again. Running off topic threads have always been fine. Pizza. Beer. Now toasters.

 

[temery]

Room temperature pop tarts are superior to heated ones. That's just science.

Did you know that when Astro chimes in on "Red Red Wine" he is toasting?

After reading this thread id Like to give toast a try. Can anyone suggest the best way to make it?

Edit: anyone else now have toasters ads showing up?

Yep, they replaced that Asian chick with the padded bra, dammit!!!

 

[Bezzz]

I prefer and use a toaster oven. I usually spend only about $35 because toasters, toaster ovens and irons usually have a life expectancy of 2-3 years. There’s nothing like opening a new box of waffles
And your toasters dead. A dead iron on a school day is worse.

My toaster oven is 15 years old. It's filthy, but it still works great. The one that freaks me out is my microwave is 33 years old and good as new.

The Astros and the Yankees will have to wait until next year to chime in on anything.

They're both toast.

Please tell me you are also a civilized fork-splitter, and not one of those mouth-breathing knife-splitters.

I needs my nooks and crannies!

Is anyone here a fan of crumpets? They are basically English muffins without the need to splitting. I also prefer them grilled, so it eliminates the need for a toaster.

Wow. A fifteen year old toaster oven is no longer a toaster oven. It’s a family member.

I'm not sure if a crumpet will fit in a toaster, but I've done toast on a grill. It's no better than a toaster, but it was fun doing so at least once. Same for toast on a camp fire. It didn't end well, but it was fun trying"

Need one of these to stove toast....

but I'm talking a cast iron grill that you'd use on a home range top. Delicious.

 

[storrsroars]

Gross. I hate soft cooked eggs. The point is protein.

I used to like your content. This projects a whole other image.

I'm now seeing you as one of those dressing on the side, gluten free/whole wheat pizza crust with no char people.

Different is better until you realize different is more work and ends up with the same result.

Worth noting: I've done toast in an oven and a grill using something similar to the image in your reply. It did taste better knowing I tried something different, and it worked. I was very impressed with myself, then I remembered someone years ago invented the toaster.

Buy some and grill them on a cast iron grill on your stove. You will thank me.

Speaking of gluten free pizza crusts, is there such thing as a good one? I'm currently not eating wheat but have had a pizza craving

Toast on cast iron (Skillet or grill) is basically the outside layers of a grilled cheese. Next time you make a homemade sandwich with cheese (breakfast or otherwise), prepare the insides first. Then make a traditional grilled cheese. Split it open while the cheese is still gooey, and wrap the toast around the stuffing. It's magnificent.

Related, use something other than American cheese. Provolone, Havarti, Jack, and Mozzarella all work well.

Looks awesome, and now I understand ... I thought you said strumpet.

(Reposted Awesomeness)

Spread garlic butter on two slices of sourdough bread and place butter side down on a hot grill. Go light on the garlic - I've skipped the premade garlic butter at times, and rubbed a garlic clove on the bread before spreading the butter. Just a hint of garlic, and not too much butter is best.

Add a handful of shredded cheese to each slice, then a couple basil leaves on top of the cheese. It'll melt in a minute or two. Personally, I like gooey cheese - Swiss, Havarti, Muenster, and a couple I can't spell.

Drizzle honey (thank you, Oprah) on each slice.

Add a slice of cold beefsteak or brandywine tomoto and put the grilled cheese together.

Enjoy.

Wow!! You just killed your microwave's mojo. You better start shopping for a new microwave.

 

[Waquoit]

Too many calories most likely. I like the Fiber One because the whole thing is just 110.

But they taste lousy!

LOL

Nah, I just don't like runny eggs. But I am too fat, and egg whites are easy and healthy.

 

[nomar]

On a positive note, I'm now seeing toaster ads, so I'll know where to get one.

I was, and now I'm seeing ads for constipation treatment. How much toast did you eat???

Not really but Whole Foods sells a cauliflower crust pizza that is pretty dang good for what it is. (It's not just cauliflower -- it has other stuff in it like rice flour.) Caulipower is the brand.

I'm not eating cauliflower either so that's out of the question unfortunately
