Butter?That's archaic. Real toast modelers know that Country Crock makes a much better shim.

Anybody out there help me?

Pry the toast out with a fork before it burns.

Silly Garry, Pop Tarts are for kids. No serious toast modeler would be caught dead eating them (quickly brushes fruit filling from face).

Obviously.
You and the other toast dilettantes are the reason the toast hobby is dying. Get serious about it. Toast is not only the World's Greatest Breadform, it's also art.

Incredible... Absolutely incredible! 228 posts and no mention of whether ornot this Toaster is NMRA compliant, Minimum radius of the toast in question or if the toast comes undecorated?
This begs the question to be asked...
What came first? the Toaster or the Toast...

It all depends on the Toaster, some are some aren't. Minimum radius depends on the era of the toaster. But if you want really good toast, try the coffee shop across the street. I hear rhoward is buying this month. (Well somebody hasn't paid his bill in a long while!)

Is French toast really toast, or just battered & fried bread?
Discuss.

If I use a block system to isolate and individually control slices of variable width (I scratch-build my own bread), can I incorporate a DCC auto reverse module to unburn toast? And if so, at what unburn level will I have the greatest comPATTIEbility conformity with butter? Do I taste test toast or test toast taste, and what probes do I use with my multitoastester? Gary

I can not believe how far off topic this thread has gotten! I admit that I have been guilty of straying myself, but Thermonuclear Toasters, cream cheese and poptarts are not what we were discussing in the beginning.
The topic is "HUGE TOAST COMPLAINT!" Where are the trolls when they are needed?????? If you all can not stay on topic... I'm toast.

Have you tried adjusting the speed step settings,that or make sure that all the bread matches the NMRA's recomended slice thickness and is crust width compliant,thinner non-conforming bread will toast faster.

No, it was drugs.

NMTA standards for compliance have yet to be approved. This is why some brands of toasters do not play well with others.
