Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Inconsistent toasting. For example, today:

Toaster job #1 : Halved hot crossed buns burnt to a f***ing crisp (black).

Toaster job #2 (same settings as #1, 2 mins later) : 'toast' verging on hot bread, needing a second go.

Eta: add in those hotel conveyor belt ones where you have the same two binary options.

The hotel conveyor ones that you put the bread through 10 times before giving up and having lukewarm bread.

They have go to be the most inefficient things ever invented - never make a good slice and there ends up loads of wasted slices sitting beside the machine.

There is an inherent flaw in toasters due to mechanical timers and residual heating. A slow dialing down of temperature requests will often resolve your worries. If you want perfect toast, there is an answer…but it’s old and you have to find a compatible version:

 Bonus points for the roasters who think a croissant or half a baguette will fit through it, which inevitably get stuck and basically set on fire then hurriedly walk away leaving their smouldering mess behind them and try to deny their utter fucking stupidity.

Plus given the speed, you probably need to place the bread on the conveyor the night before to have any chance of getting it ready by breakfast time.
