Toast: Homage to a Superfood | 
This is what I call a toaster. Does both sides at once and the toast pops up when it‘s done. This one does 4 slices. You can get smaller ones that do 2 and bigger ones that do six. There was a bit of a fad for toaster ovens here back in the 80‘s, but they‘re not common now.
Isn‘t it wonderful where books can take you?🤣
rubyslippersreads I still have the toaster oven my dad bought 25 years ago, although I usually use a pop-up toaster. My brother still has my grandma‘s toaster—the flat kind that sits on a stove burner, and you (very carefully) turn the toast with your fingers. 😄 1y
IndoorDame @rubyslippersreads oooh, I‘m not sure what the flat kind looks like… is it kind of like a griddle? 1y
Bookzombie I have this kind of toaster currently. It only does two slices at a time. I was a kid in the 80s so maybe that‘s when we got a toaster oven too. My mom used it for years. 🙂 1y

Centique Yes! Ive seen a toaster oven overseas but i just thought it was a pie warmer. Never figured out how to make toast in it. 😂 1y
BarbaraBB Yes! This is what I‘ve got too. Toasts two slices and can be put away when not in use. Thanks Carolyn 😀 1y
Cinfhen This is what I call a stand up toaster! The other that @Bookzombie shared is a toaster oven @BarbaraBB , which I use…not to be confused with a convection toaster which my mom has in Florida and I can‘t figure out how to use it at all @Centique !!!! I ❤️my toaster oven, #OnceAnEightiesGirlAlwaysAnEightiesGirl 😜 1y
BarbaraBB A convection toaster @Cinfhen ? Never heard of that one either 😂 but I am glad I now know what the word stand up toaster means! 1y
Cinfhen So funny where a book review about a thriller has lead to an entire international “education” on toasters @BarbaraBB @TrishB 1y
TrishB @Cinfhen I feel I am well educated for any future world travels 😁 1y
TrishB @BarbaraBB putting your toaster away is another source of much discussion too! If you have watched Derrygirls you‘ll know only Protestants put the toaster away😂 1y
TrishB And now @rubyslippersreads introduces a new toaster! 1y
batsy Yep, this is what is known as a toaster in these parts, too! 😁 1y
CarolynM @rubyslippersreads That sounds delightfully old world! My grandparents had the kind with the element in the middle and pull-down sides. You had to be pretty careful turning the toast over in that one too😆 1y
CarolynM @TrishB I didn‘t realise I had Catholic habits🤣 If I was at home I‘d post a picture of my kettle and toaster in their little permanent bench nook. Explains why my parents always put their toaster away though. 1y
CarolynM @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @Centique @batsy We‘ve all been thoroughly educated and can feel much more like women of the world now🤣 @TrishB really started something! 1y
TrishB I know what to expect anywhere in the world for my tea and toast now 😁 1y
rubyslippersreads @BarbaraBB Just be sure it‘s completely cool before you put it away. I know of someone who burned down her kitchen by putting a still-hot toaster in a cupboard. 1y
rubyslippersreads @TrishB Grandma‘s toaster looks somewhat like the flat ones shown at the top of this article: https://improvisedlife.com/2014/02/03/toast-comfort-stove-top-toasters-tattood-f... 1y
erzascarletbookgasm Mine toasts two slices at once and toast bread is my favourite staple breakfast 👌😊 1y
BarbaraBB @TrishB Another source of much discussion 😂 I grew up in a Catholic part of Holland, I should have paid attention what they did with their toasters! And you are right @rubyslippersreads it needs to cool first! 1y
CarolynM @rubyslippersreads 😱😱😱 1y
CarolynM @erzascarletbookgasm You can‘t beat tea and toast to start the day 😄 1y
