    We pre-slice and freeze bagels. At least it gives us a reason to use the bagel setting on the toaster.

        Single-sided toasting.

        The elements are only run on one side. Typically the inside on an upright toaster or the top on a toaster oven.

          My toaster must be worthless then, because I guarantee that button has no effect on the elements.

            That’s too bad. Might make for a decent Saturday morning project to take it apart and see if you can figure out how to get it to work.

              It’s at least 25 years old, really not worth the trouble. And I don’t know electronics, which I believe this one uses for its element controls.

                Maybe there’s really tiny gears in it, and they spin so fast the friction causes heat.

                I mean, how would you really know if you never completely disassembled it one afternoon and then bought a new one because let’s face it no one’s putting a toaster back together?

      I keep most bread things in the freezer, as a loaf of sliced bread may last months and when I do want to make a sandwich I’m toasting it anyway.
