Carefully! You are definitely making mistakes in using the toaster – check yourself and correct

It’s time to get your toast ready! Check to see if you’re missing those moments by using a household toaster.

It’s easy to forget that toasters have a crumb tray underneath. Be sure to take it out every few days, shake it out, and clean it thoroughly. In addition, you need to periodically shake the toaster over the kitchen sink – large pieces of bread and seeds get stuck in the spirals. If all this accumulates for a long time, it worsens the taste of toast and can cause a fire.

Different breads require different levels of toast – feel free to experiment to find out what works best for what.

Simply adding a division is not always the best option. Some toasts have a separate defrost function, it is better to use it first, then cook the toast as usual.

In many toasters, the lever has room for spring play, and in order to get a safe slice, you need to press the lever lightly from below. If the lever is stuck, it is also worth pulling it gently to the right and left, and not rushing at the toaster with a knife, taking your bread. This is very dangerous and can cause a short circuit!

Hitting the cancel button just because you think the toaster is slow is a bad idea and will only give you a bad toast. For various reasons, the toaster may bake toast longer: for example, the grates have not yet warmed up sufficiently or the slice has turned out to be thicker than usual.

By the way, toast experts (yes, there are!) have calculated that it takes 216 seconds to make the perfect toast from toasted white bread.
