What happened to the homemade bread?
transatlantic
Boom!
To be fair, it does say 'Thick sliced white bread'
Yer but..... no but ....... It doesn't say the slices are two inches higher than a toaster slot.
I make it regularly, I'm baking later - but the boy won't eat any read other than crepe sliced bread with the "crusts" cut off. It's useful once in a while for toast. In fact, that's all it's useful for.Glynne":2p3fj33b said:

Testing the smoke detector.
When I saw Phil's photo and the comment about things not doing what they were designed for, I assumed he meant the toaster ! Pet rant coming up ...
Why are toasters so c**p ? They rely on a timer or other guestimation method to determine when the toast is done, traditionally a bimetal strip with a heating coil around it that releases a latch when it gets hot enough - so it is affected by the ambient temperature, whether this is the first or second slice, etc etc - but not how brown the bread has turned ! Industrial baking processes can monitor the colour of biscuits in the oven - why can't a toaster toast to the right shade of brown ?

Oh... not that kind of pet hate..
Our toaster goes up to 5 but anything beyond 3 is still 3 ... It came as part of a set Toaster + Kettle (De'Longhi Classic range) and they're both sh*te. The kettle spout has started to rust, only 2 slots now work of the 4 on the toaster too. :/

Where I worked had an expensive rotary toaster - it did toast two ways colourless or black.
The slices are too high/wide to fit in width ways.ColeyS1":24vksjou said:One side is shorter than the other Phil

Yup, you see those rotary ("conveyor belt") toaster thingies in a lot of hotels, especially where it's a buffet or semi-buffet breakfast.
Biggest troubles are that some seem to work by a combination of speed and heat control, some by just one or the other, and it takes me about 3 days into a stay before I've worked out which it is. Then, once it's finally clicked with me, I line up for my own toast just after some "tasteless" silly person has set it to complete black (or vice versa) and it takes so long for the thing to react to control setting changes that transport into work has left the hotel before you've got even one decent slice!
At home (no home bread baking) I just attack the slice with a knife until it fits. Simple
