What to do with Burnt Toast?

[CavLancer]

I really wanted toast, had a design which included cream cheese slathered deep across its surface. Problem is, its completely inedible. Even if I buried the burnt toast in cream cheese the taste of carbon would come through and ruin the entire experience. The obvious solution is to go back to the loaf and choose 2 more slices and I did this! However those burnt ones were the last two slices and all that's left in the house is the heel of the loaf, or dog food. Its hours to the nearest store which has good bread.

The two slices of carbonized wheat are dead. The toaster had been set way to high by an unknown culprit or accidental collision with an unknown object. I thought of scraping them down but there remains nothing within. So much hope was invested in these slices that to simply toss them in the garbage is too much to suffer.

So, I've been thinking of something to do with them. Best I can come up with would be to send them to Mars1 so they can use them as an ablative heat shield for the Mars landing.

They might not accept and could conceivably have some other substance in mind, such as burnt pizza which has the advantage of being round.

So, I'm open to suggestions. What to do with my burnt toast?

1. Scrape the burnt stuff off, put on your usual condiment, and eat it.

2. Feed it to the birds.

Scraping does work. But it's not the same.

How about just eating the burnt toast? Isn't it the same as a charcoal biscuit? Which is considered a good remedy for flatulence... or something. I can't remember. I never did like charcoal biscuits.

Feeding the birds and compost heaps are both good final destinations for burnt toast, imo

I'd be moderated into a smoking hole in the ground if I offered my honest suggestion.

 

[CavLancer]

It wouldn't fit anyway.

 

[NovaKart]

Throw it in the trash.

 

[Borachio]

What? So it goes to landfill? I think not. That's the worst place for it.

 

[CavLancer]

Throw it in the trash.

Burn thou dark lord!

Sorry, sorry...I guess I'm rather attached to my dream of toast with cream cheese and got carried away.

I suppose you could use them as improvised charcoal, use that to create an artistic masterpiece, and sell that to get you some money for new glasses so that you can actually check what your toaster's set to.

Has anyone found a toaster that actually functions well and predictably?

Every toaster I encounter seems to be different.

My own requires that I reload the toast, at least twice, and watch it like a hawk, armed with a knife in order to prize the toast away from the elements as required.

In accord with my minimalist lifestyle, I now very often circumvent the toaster completely and eat raw toast.

It's really much the same to my stomach. Though, tbh, my stomach has little conception of the finer points.

Your imagination is limited.

 

[CavLancer]

:sadnod: I am profoundly limited when it comes to such.

If my toaster wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, watch out!

Toaster ovens are pretty awesome.

Toaster ovens are pretty awesome.

You still have to watch them though, mine heats up slowly but once it's hot it toasts fast. So your bread can be, still white, still white.... still white for like a minute then go from white to black in 15 seconds if you aren't careful. Also since the toast doesn't pop out it can burn while the heating rods cooldown if you don't take it out right away. Quite frankly I don't find toaster ovens that great at making regular toast but they are awesome for their versatility. I've made cookies, pizzas, french fries and even breaded pork chops in mine. Awesome at reheating foods.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Like others said the best thing to do would be to just scrape off the burnt parts. I myself am one of those people who don't like to throw away food, so that's what I do.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Have you ever tried making your cream cheese toast in an oven? I tried that with cheese and it tastes awesome.

 

[Phrossack]

Grind them up and sprinkle them on/in some other food.

Or put a bullet through them as an example to the other pieces of bread.

Either way.

A single slice of burnt toast can contaminate a 5,000 km2 area of ocean and takes centuries to decompose. They must be disposed of properly by trained professionals with specific equipment.

 

[classical_hero]

Just don't burn the toast.
