My toaster too!! They are all the same. I even tried changing the brand of bread (there are two items in the equation, I had to fair and test both individually), didn’t help.

To be fair I haven’t tried changing the bread. But I’ve all but given up on toast for breakfast. 😂

I had the perfect toaster; perfect! But he was old, much used, but still perfect. And then my sister gifted me this beautiful Smeg toaster to my birthday. My brain shouted yes, my heart shouted nooo! 2 days of brooding later I put my old toaster into the basement. The Smeg is really really good, looks wonderful like a Ferrari. But sometimes late at night I hear this little voice whispering up from the basement: but I was perfect!

According to the evil chatbot living in my computer, 99% of all toasters sold in America are made in China. They're getting revenge for tariffs. The whole economy will soon be burnt toast.

I thought I was subscribed! I am now. Yes. My toaster is like that. And yes, I make toast your sons way. I put the bread in then every minute press the cancel button,turn the bread round,each time a different way so it's evenly done all over,then I slather butter on it while it's still so hot the butter melts instantly. But I can only do this when I've bought a sliced loaf from a shop. So it's an occasional treat for me. I bake my own bread but not in trad.loaf form and it's too crumbly to put in the toaster without risking a conflagration. Anyway I want to be smarter than my toaster.

Hi. Good Morning. Sounds like a good plan for the cheese toasties. My son would love that. But I couldn't get my head around doing that for toast in the mornings 😬

LOL Morning Brad!

Throw the toaster away and invest in a cast iron skillet with a lid - put a knob of butter in the pan, add the bread, a couple of flips and it is done :o) The beauty of this is you can have a proper loaf of bread with slices as thick as you like and still have nice toast.

Also makes great cheese toasties ;o)
