Toast

[theboyfold]

Toast is one of the best snack foods going and one of the easiest to make. However it's also one of the hardest to get right. Had some Tescos multigrain this morning and it tasted like warm cardboard. So I'm starting to wonder what's more important, the toast or the toaster?

It's hard to get toast right?
Really?

Top Tip

You must add oil, to aid colour etc!!

the bread is the important thing.

from toasting on an open fire, to using a blow torch, grill, normal good ol' toaster or a hob, my toast always comes out the same, just right, cause I dont let it burn.


it doesnt matter so much as what you toast with, its what you toast that dictates the outcome in my books.

The bread is quite clearly more important as it's the raw material that determines the taste & texture.

Yes I think there are a lot more factors at play than you think!

The perfect christmas turkey is a tad tricky
The perfect souffle can be quite problematic
Detailed and intricate sugar work and confectionary is difficult.

Toast, on the other hand, is a peice of piss.

Select nice bread - toast for the correct amount of time. Hey presto.

It can't be that difficult or it wouldn't be the snack of choice for stoners. You never hear "Duuuuude - i'm just going to grab some munchies - anyone else want me to make them a creme anglais filled choux pastry?"

Same idea as with wine - never toast something you'd not eat in a sandwich. Never cook with wine you'd not drink..

I'd love to see that anally retentive spastic Blumenthal get tasked with making the perfect slice of toast.

It's all about the topping

White bread.

Thick sliced.

Brown.

Butter. Add. Lots of.

Eye-wateringly strong cheddar on the side.

DONE.

Ramsay style

It really isn't that hard is it. Just toast it until it is how you want it. Sometimes I like mine hot off the press, lightly toasted and dripping with butter. Sometimes I like it buttered when cold and covered in jam.
And the bread, definately the important factor, along with the butter/topping. Crap bread is crap toasted or untoasted. Do you ever remember enjoying the toast at a greasy spoon? Smartprice stale wafer thin bread covered in industrial marge...
