What to do with Burnt Toast?

[Perfection]

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.

Toast is tricky, at least a toaster oven it's easier to see, less mussing about.

I need a new toaster oven, I can't use mine for food after using it for reflow soldering...

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.

Eek! Bigad! I didn't realize what a theat to the environment burnt toast is.

Don't eat it that's for sure. Burnt food contains carcinogens which can potentially cause cancer.

 

[Borachio]

Browning of all food means it contains carcinogens.

So, no toast at all for you.

But, as you quite rightly point out: carcinogens can cause cancer. (I'm not so sure about the "potentially", though. Ignore me. I'm being flippant and pedantic.)

 

[BenitoChavez]

When the news reports on medical research its all "potential", it "may happen", or some other wishy washy language. Doctors or the people who report on them just don't seem to have very strong convictions.

 

[Borachio]

I agree.

I was, completely unnecessarily and irritatingly, pointing out that "can" and "potentially" aren't both needed in the same sentence. I shouldn't have done it, I know. I truly regret it now.

Let's rise the Toast to Those who can't ! Toast and Cheers !

 

[Borachio]

That's funny.

I did know a Toastmaster, once upon a time.

 

[BenitoChavez]

nevermind

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

I'm starting to like this a lot. A piece of burnt toast with a bullet hole through it, or better both, hanging above the toaster and slowly decomposing would be a lesson in fear for any sliced bread thinking of taking the same path!
