What You Will Need for Toast

¶ … Toast

What You Will Need

A toaster

Bread

Butter (if desired)

Other toppings (e.g. jam, preserves, etc.)

A knife (to spread butter, jam, etc.)

A plate to hold the completed toast

Place needed supplies close to the toaster

Place a slice of bread in each slot of the toaster.

Most toasters will have two slots

Turn the dial/indicator on the toaster to indicate how dark/cooked you want the bread to be based on your preference

Push the tab down to make the bread lower into the toaster. This will turn on the toaster.

Keep an eye on the toaster. If the bread reaches your desired level of being cooked, you can generally cancel the toaster's pre-set level. Otherwise, the toast will pop up when it is done.

Check the bread to make sure that it is sufficiently cooked through and to the desired temperature and color

Carefully remove the toast from the toaster. Using a heat pad, glove or tongs is heavily suggested as the toast will be very hot

Place the cooked toast on a plate

Use your knife to spread your desired toppings on the toast

If you want more toast, repeat the steps above and in the same order

Once you have cooked all the toast desired or needed, replace the lid or covering on the butter or jam and return to the fridge.

Ensure that the toaster is no longer on and activated if you are done making toast.

If you so choose, you can use a knife to partition the toast.

You can slice corner to opposite corner or lengthwise

Make sure to let the toast cool sufficiently before you attempt to eat it

Other Tips

Toast can also be cooked in a toaster oven

Larger conventional toasters can have extra slots (usually no more than four)

Some toasters can also toast bagels
