How do you like your toast?

dazzlemoo · 04-02-2012 9:47pm #1

I like my toast cold, a little hard and a bit burnt with a good spread of butter.
I don't put any weird toppings on it though..
Got me thinking-how do you like your toast? Hot, cold, butter on thick/thin?

barely done, lots of real butter and strawberry jam.

aujopimur · 05-02-2012 12:24am

Thick, lightly browned, warm, lots of Kerrygold or Bandon Coop butter with soft boiled eggs, or any type of orange marmalade, and lots of strong tea nom nom nom.

I like my toast really well done, hot, with raspberry jam

OOh now actually, this sounds nice..

I like it several ways. Sometimes you just can't wait and I'll have it with barely a hint of colour and a lashing of butter. Other times darker, near black can be gorgeous.
Sunday breakfast isn't complete without cold toast and butter though.

I love toast.

I have toast with Dairygold because my stomach can't handle real butter (wish it could cos real butter tastes so good).

Sometimes I have it light and sometimes dark, sometimes just buttered and other times buttered with jam or smarmalade.

I love beans on toast and boiled eggs with toast.

The odd time I'll have toast with a nice slice of ham with a little English mustard.

Yep, toast, love the stuff.

chinomel · 05-02-2012 6:35am

Two slices of bread , tin baked beans.
Lightly toast bread meanwhile heat beans in microwave
Butter toast , put one slice on plate and pour half the beans on top.
Put second slice on top and pour rest of beans over it.
Put all back in microwave for min till all is hot and toast is soggy.
Yummmmmy.:)

meoklmrk91 · 05-02-2012 7:04am

Extremely lightly done regardless of the topping, if I am using butter it has to go back in the toaster for melting and reheating. Usually I just put ham in between two slices or strawberry jam. Nomnomnom.

Mrs Fox · 05-02-2012 2:42pm

I like it medium, don't mind warm or cold, with a slab of real butter.
With a cup of milky coffee.

emeraldstar · 05-02-2012 4:54pm

Wholegrain bread, toasted to a medium brown, hot, lots of melted real butter, and a cup of tea on the side.

The Hill Billy · 06-02-2012 12:23am

White bread, medium toasted, real butter.
With soft-boiled eggs or strawberry jam or marmite.

olaola · 06-02-2012 12:06pm

BATCH HEEL!

There used to be a fight over it in our place when I was a kid. Toasted, with butter and raspberry jam. It's the Irish equivalent to a breakfast pastry. Pure heaven!!

Darkginger · 06-02-2012 12:31pm

Ideally, cold, lightly toasted, with low-salt butter like Lurpak, and a very light spread of Rose's Lime Marmalade.

fresh batch bread, lightly toasted with real butter spread on it

My dad has his toast done on only one side, which is fairly weird.

I love batch bread toasted on one side, let it go cold and then butter with dairygold, it's so nice!!!

enda1 · 10-02-2012 12:45pm

Lightly browned with salty Britany butter and slices of saucissons d'ardeche is heaven

orchidsrpretty · 10-02-2012 12:49pm

Either lightly toasted with a little butter and strawberry jam or cold and chewy with lots of real butter.

huskerdu · 10-02-2012 1:17pm

I shouldn't have read this before lunch.

I like so many different types of toast, its hard to choose.

Best bread for toast, in order

1) Home-made white bread
2) Batch loaf (especially the heel)
3) Granary sliced pan (especially the heel)
4) Wholemeal bread
5) White bought sliced pan

I dont feel a need to butter it immediately, a few minutes later is best,

Sometimes just butter, sometimes maramalade.
With wholemeal toast, it has to be jam.

haven't tried it! yet:pac:

Batch is nice, its so dense it can soak up loads of butter. The grill gives a nice even browning, I hate toast from cheapo toasters where it is burnt in places and white in others. A trick I had was popping it halfway through and turning it 90 degrees so its more even.

Must be evenly buttered, I hate pools of melted butter in the middle and bone dry around the crust.

jacool · 13-02-2012 12:38pm

Rule 1: Piping hot
Rule 2: Never shall butter and jam appear together on the same slice
Rule 3: Devour as quickly as possible

Worztron · 13-11-2023 10:11am

Flora + Marmalade\Strawberry\Raspberry Jam. Not toasted too brown. I don't mind eating cold toast but prefer hot.

PARlance · 13-11-2023 11:13am

I'll take it anyway going but I have one demand, please, please, please butter the toast as soon as it comes off the heat.

Her good self has an awful habit of leaving the toast unbuttered as it goes cold and then you're left with small bits of unmelted butter. The struggle is real.

Her good self is entirely correct.

If I wanted melted butter on bread I'd use melted butter.

I wave the toast around cooling it so you have the right ratio of melted to unmelted butter.

If I wanted unmelted butter, I would have untoasted toast.

You two animals would be a good match, waving toast around like the lunatics you are.

Tree · 13-11-2023 9:30pm

Why limit oneself to one way of doing toast? Cold toast smeared with a good dose of butter and jam, hot toast drowned in butter and jam, hot toast with peanutbutter, cold toast with peanut butter, white toast moderately well done, brown soda well toasted, soda farl fried in butter on one side in lieu of toasting, crumpets, muffins, <insert toasty toaster clip here>

How one prefers one's toast is timeless.

Barbie2k23 · 14-11-2023 12:57am

Toasted banana and sugar sambo do in the sandwich maker 👌👌👌

dinorebel · 14-11-2023 1:42am

With thick butter and Marmite food of the gods.

Same! Real butter slathered on hot, marmite then a friend egg on top each slice . I’m not able for fry ups so this cures all hangovers for me :)

Worztron · 17-11-2023 8:31am

Sometimes I go with marmalade on 1 half slice of toast and strawberry jam on the other half. A lovely selection. 🍞🍓🫙

Lewis_Benson · 17-11-2023 9:05am

Toasted.

the beer revolu · 17-11-2023 10:58am

This might upset some people - my wife almost gets angry with me for doing this - but I love toast (slightly cooled) buttered with a thin layer of marmite and a thin layer of honey!

The marmite should sit on top of the butter and not mix in with it too much and the honey should sit on top of the marmite and not mix with it.

A crunchy, savoury, sweet adventure!

califano · 23-11-2023 7:16pm

What's going on with newfangled toasters these days. My last one lasted 14 years so I retired it and got a new one.

Got a Smeg for 157 or something ridiculous. I wouldn't mind but at the top setting it would just about do a decent browning but not even darkening of the toast. But what if you like well done toast to short of burning?. You would need to do the slice twice. All these new bagle settings etc but can you just brown the toast well?. It's inconsistent too with some parts of the slice pale and the others brown. And what's strange is all the heating elements don't turn red hot only random bars. Maybe its designed like that but I dunno.

So brought it back and with credit note I got a cheaper one for 119 called Sage Toast Select Luxe. Again unsatisfactory toasting from it. Switched up full and it hardly toasts it. And again all the elements don't light up. Again the heating elements are random. I'm sure someone can explain that one as not strange and part of some toasting algorithm.

It's very dissapointing and I've a good mind to bring this one back too.

Anyone finding similar issues with new toasters?. Could our toasters be throttled back in some way in the republic of Ireland or am I getting paranoid?.

And any reccomendations on 2 slice toasters that do the toast really brown?. And if I could push my luck do it really brown and not even be on the top heat setting?. Or is that a pipe dream in this day and age?.

Hmm, I think you put toast on your jam.

I have that Sage the last 3 years and it’s excellent, generally have it set to 4-5 to get a nice medium well done slice of toast. No idea what you’re doing 😅. For white bread it needs to be set ever lower to avoid burning.

sprucemoose · 23-11-2023 7:44pm

I like my toast like I like my women

hot and consumable with butter.

I'm jinxed!. This is setting 6 for white. Barely brown and still white around the edges.

How do you like your toast?
