hints and tips
24 When toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.
25 Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
26 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread – use a lighter setting.
27 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
crumbs
28 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic, and it could cause a fire hazard.
29 Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.
30 Slide the crumb tray out from underneath the toaster.
31 Empty it, wipe it with a damp cloth, dry it, then replace it in the toaster.
32 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
