I hate it!! Thumbs Down

Do you have to throw it away and start again or do you eat it anyways? perhaps scraping off the worst??

Or are you some sort of deviant that actually likes burnt toast? Thinking

Why can't toasters be clever enough to stop when things start burning??? Thinking

You probably could find one if you had enough cash to throw at useless crap.
I used to just scrape the manky stuff off, but now I start afresh. Although I never need to really, because I'm not daft enough to change the settings on my toaster after I find a good one.

You could probably have some sort of detector that looks for a certain something that burnt toast gives off but it might vary too much from different types of bread which could mean the toaster pops before the bread is properly toasted! Shocked.

Personally my favourite toast is toast done under a grill, always comes out better, but you gotta keep an eye on it.

I like toast well done, but not burnt.

My problem is custard.

I'm going to give up doing it in the microwave, it explodes every time without fail Evil or Very Mad

I love custard, but not on toast tho.

I hate it when its the last two slices of bread and no other food in house Mad then I am reduced to scraping the burn off but usually it goes in bin.

I have tins of custard in my drawer, i refuse to get the birds powder as it never works for me. Ready made all the way. Humm custard and cake........................... Mr. Green

My old toaster was always burning the bread ... very temperamental, one minute nice and golden tan, then next black burnt.

However, since last Xmas, when the wife bought me my new shiny orange KTM toaster ... I have had nothing but perfect toast and with a nice logo in the middle.
Lovely it is Smile

I don't fiddle with my settings or is it temperamental (its a tefal, not a sharty one) - it will do the same bread the same every time!! Thumbs Up HOWEVER it doesn't really account for the size of the bread. i.e. I have it set for thick slices, if I put in thin or medium, then they are slightly underdone. So I put them in again for a little bit ... problem is every now and then I forget I have re-done it and it does another complete cycle .... hence popping up all black!! Embarassed

Why would you want KTM on your toast?!!? Laughing

Until recently I had to do toast under the grill, it regularly took me 6 slices of bread to get 2 slices of unburnt toast. I have now got a toaster as the grill doesn't work anymore Evil or Very Mad I can't eat burnt toast even with it scraped, it goes out to the pigeons

Toasters are sh1t full stop,even the ones that make cheese toasties.It's not the burning bit that p!sses me off(I mean come on if it burns you know top turn it down for next time Rolling Eyes ).My problem is having to cut 2 inches off the top of my toast(if you eat warburtons you'll know what I'm talking about),what a waste.I once e-mailed them suggesting they teamed up with morphy richards and made a toaster that was sufficient enough to toast a full slice,I never got a reply but now I've had time to think about it more it may make more sense I'f they just made their "toastie" bread a couple of inches smaller,it would toast properly in a standard toaster and save Mr warburton a little cash at the same time.But then wtf do I know about bread,I'm sure it wouldnt be as simple as that to make the slices smaller,and if it was smaller I'd probably buy Hovis instead.Feck me I'm getting on my own nerves now!

It does white to tan brown in 57 seconds .... quite quick compared to my old Morphy Richards.

Surely what you should be asking is why do toasters have the ability to go high enough for a cremation, i mean anything after half power on every toaster Ive used results in inedible mess.

I don't own a toaster, as they're useless when you can have a perfectly good grill and a smoke alarm. Works every time, as I'm a terror for putting stuff on or in the cooker and then wandering off to do something else, forgetting what I started off doing (it's my age!).

Without fail, as the grill starts smoking the alarm goes off, then me, the cats and dog all charge back to kitchen in time for perfectly cooked toast Mr. Green

Actually, I seem to be the only one on here that really likes burnt toast (end crust bit's the bestest) gone a bit cold with a thick spread of cold butter and orange and ginger marmalade - om, nom nom Laughing

I'd love me a trendy Honda toaster. Cool {edit}after searching, I've also found https://www.geekalerts.com/u/dv-toaster.jpg but the force is not with it.

I'm also going to try Toast and Custard next time I have some.

I've tried chips and custard - also sausage roll and custard. Nice.

My son did that (age 15) with bacon and a 3 day old cooker. Now I have a cooker that is slightly charred at the front and with only 2 melted knobs left - the others disintegrated.

I reckon it's a 2 if tuned right; and cheap and nasty, overpriced plastics and under-engineered gubbins. Thumbs Up

I like my toast burnt! Not stupidly burnt but enough to give it some flavour. Best way.
