Four slice toaster- a question.

[BorntoBubble]

I used to have this problem, now I have four slices of toast though instead of three seems a waste of electricity not to add another slice in!

[EvilPie]

Booder stayed over at my place a while ago and used my four slice toaster to make two slices of toast.

He put one slice in each side and pressed both buttons down at the same time.

I'm not saying it bothered me but it was about 8 years ago and I haven't asked him back since......

That's the same as the one I've got. I use the right hand side so maybe when they both pack up we can just swap...

Maybe I should get one of these new-fangled four-slice toasters. When I have beans on toast, I always have three slices of toast, as that is what seems to fit naturally with a tin of beans. After I have toasted two slices, I am confronted with the dilemma of whether to toast another immediately or to get on and start eating and toast another one when I am getting near the end of the first two, with the obvious downsides of both options. A four-slice toster would resolve all these problems. However, I estimate that my existing toaster has 17 years life remaining. I need to consider this further.

Toast a single first and eat while the other two are toasting. Problem solved.

Or buy a second, two-slice toaster.

I actually have another one that I bought accidentally a few years ago, still in its box pending the day Toaster 1 breaks down. You're right - I should bring it into use ahead of its planned start date. We'll probably all be using plutonium toasters or some such by then anyway.

I don't like toasted plutonium, I'd rather have...

That brings back memories, of rushing through the galley when I was in basic training @ Raleigh

It makes breakfast a lot quicker having the 4 slice toaster, especially with the kids all wanting some. Few small issues though:

1) The modern day loaf seems to not fit in properly, I end up having to turn it around so that it gets cooked both ends. If I put it sideways it ends up getting squashed.

2) For some reason my new toaster makes the toast too "crisp", very similar to hotel toast. Much prefer softer toast.

3) Said new toaster seems to take a lot longer to toast the bread.

The upside to all of this means I now eat less toast so can't be too bad. Always use the LH side as well if making only two slices.

These should be banned.
On holiday the rest of the family goes rushing of to get their breakfast and muggins here has to stand and toast fourteen rounds of bread for everyone.
Each slice travels through at the speed of a glacier and then drops out just warmed and still pale, so you have to put it through again much to the horror of the other guests.
This is when toaster etiquette comes in.
Some people keep there distance until you have finished completely, but it's generally accepted that you can put your bread on as soon as there is a gap, providing you pay attention to which ones are yours and do not commit the cardinal sin of picking someone else's up by mistake. 'Scuse fingers' don't cut it when some randomer has there mawlers on your sliced white.
Of course the second trip through has rendered it charcoal anyway unless you are willing to risk life and limb by dragging it out midway with the bread knife.
Why can't hotels just have normal toasters?

Of course, for grown-ups & members of the male gender, that little dial on the side speeds up or slows down the speed of the conveyory thingery & therefore the brownery rate of the toast.

I am aware of this, but sometimes it's not easily accessible or has been removed by staff who don't appreciate people twiddling knobs in the breakfast hall without permission from the appropriate authorities.
