Got rid of my toaster (more kitchen bench space) Use my AirFryer 200 degrees Celsius, 3 to 4 minutes depending on bread Cooks perfect toast boils perfect eggs 125C 15 minutes (1 or a dozen) Same time/temp, cook them night before they stay hot for a while. Ready to peel next day, Egg Slicer bread Mayonnaise I use Aldi Turkish Rolls mainly or Burgen Rye Bread both 4 minutes Perfect all the time, I just lay them flat. if you want there are toast racks for the Air Fryer, Amazon/Ebay The "Toaster Alarm" no longer goes off (now a *REAL* smoke detector)

Airfryers are hopeless for toast

Bullshit

Dont boil eggs

I do cook most dinners except steak in the air fryer

Never get that

Your choice, perfect toast for me with Rye Bread and Aldi Turkish rolls (Coles version terrible))

Your choice

Find them handy cook four a time, use the less fresh eggs the peel easier and extends the use by date usually gone in four days either salad or sandwich

Slow cooker and Airfryer, not Steak fry pan well done Aldi marbled Wagu, if available or nothing at all.

Don't now either, it's a good LOUD one.

IME they're friction fit.

It will dry out the bread - maybe too much. Cheese on toast, though, perfect. No more than 2 minutes.

Yep

perfect toast for me with Rye Bread and Aldi Turkish

Not for me. The reason I toast the thickest slabs of the multigrain bread that still fits in the toaster that takes the thickest toast is because I prefer toast which is toast on the outside and still bread in the middle.

I have always preferred toast like that, I used to call it toast with bread in the middle when I was a little kid

Yep

I do massive great open sandwiches with the dome end of the vertical loaf of multigrain bread from the bread machine every

I used those oval cast iron plates heated to stinking hot and smoking under the grill before adding the steak

You barbarian

Yeah, I assumed that they must be, will try levering it off with a big blade screwdriver

Yep, and that's the last thing I need

Certainly too much for me.

LOL!

Yes it's not real wagu, but the best over the gristle beef aAdi sells

give it a LIGHT spray of WD40 24 hours before After removal clean it off

not if you play with the Temperature and time

I find with my Air fryer 175C. 5 minutes gives different result I use that for Turkish Roll sliced length ways (like a Sub Sandwich) pour olive oil on base Vegemite, tomato. parmesan, chedar cheese topping, use tooth picks to hold together, perfect for me.

Turns out that it has little jaws in the inside of the handle that grips the metal lever arm. Just needs more force and fingers were fine, no need to a screwdriver.

Wrong if you don't want a biscuit like bit of toast

Yes, but nothing like the toast I want

Nothing even remotely like the toast I want for my breakfast for toast, marg and marmalade

No need, just more finger pressure

You haven't mentioned which make/brand of toaster but

Yes, if there aren't any screws you should be able to lever it off.

If welding the element doesn't work you should be able to fit replacement elements easily.

I spoon Greek plain yogurt on my jam (berry/plum) toast

what is a 'could of' toaster ?

what air fryer is it?

Talking of toasters - we are (apparently) really weird and like our toast really thick, dark and crisp on the outside and lovely warm bread on the inside. Most of the population appears to prefer thin rusk-like objects.

We have been on a quest for (our opinion) a decent toaster for most of our 50 years of married life, nearly all appearing to take far too long and generate the rusk variety of toast regardless of the thickness of slice. Even using the oven grill dries out the slices somewhat.

Most appear to abide by the rule of approximately 400W allocated to each slot, so a 4 slice toaster is typically 1600W and a two slice 800 to 1000W.

I recently stumbled on a Russell Hobbs "Distinctions" toaster which is a

I did a few cross checks to ensure they were not telling porkies and purchased one - probably pricey at £44 from amazon but certainly a lot cheaper than the crap Dualit we have owned in the past.

Has nice wide long slots too - ideal for our 1 inch thick slices.

This produces our desired toast at last! You have to keep your eye on it as it is VERY fast and can easily generate cremated slices for the unwary, but once fully tuned works a treat. I can at last go to my grave eating decent toast.

I remember my granny had an old toaster with the wire wound around sheets of mica. She got it rewired, but that was about 50 years ago, when people repaired home appliances.
