Do you make toast in a toaster or in the oven?

For me it's oven only.

Put a few pats of butter on it and stick it under the broiler for a couple of minutes - comes out with a toasted top with the butter melted into the bread and a soft chewy underside.

Perfection.

Oven.

Can't see a reason to buy a toaster any longer.

Oven will give a better product but I would rather not wait for it to heat up, vs a toaster.

The answer though is to use a toaster oven / air fryer, etc which will toast it pretty fast and allow you to put butter on it during the toast.

I use the toaster for all kinds of stuff. Make a sandwich lay toaster on side and let it go. Works for pizza too.
I use a toaster oven too, but the speed of a toaster is great.

Toaster oven.

Honestly, that's probably my most utilized appliance.

What kind of nutjob is heating up a big oven for toast? I’ve heard it all now.

Toaster. It's not rocket science and I'm not warming up my kitchen to toast a few slices of bread in an oven.

Toaster does a fine job once it's set to your preference for how much you want the bread toasted.

Toaster oven here. Melts my butter into the bread. Black iron skillet works well also…

Toaster= toast
Oven= baked bread slices

It's not the same result.

Toasters are designed to cook the exterior of the bread slice with adjacent heating elements on both sides of the bread that evenly distribute radiated heat that toasts the outside of the bread, leaving essential moisture inside.

Ovens bake the bread slice with a distant heating element that convects heat around the bread causing it to dry out as it cooks. This is not preferred.

Also, toasters are quicker. By the time you wait for the oven heat up, I'll already be done eating my toast.

Speaking of toast, can anyone explain to me why the Waffle House toast taste better than anything I can come up with in my kitchen? Their toast is my favorite thing on the menu

I use a cast iron griddle.
Butter one side. Flip as needed to desired toast...

This thread begs the question of what is toast.

IMO the OP is using the oven to toast one side of bread but is not making toast. The definition of toast as a noun is:

quote:

sliced bread browned on both sides by exposure to radiant heat.


A toaster is the most efficient tool for making toast because it is basically a one-trick pony. If fails generally if you want to melt butter or cheese into the toast while toasting it. One of the many versions of a toaster oven/multi-function air fryer does that very efficiently. If you want one side toasted and the other not toasted then a toaster oven with a solid tray and using the broil feature would be the most efficient tool for the job.

Using a full-sized oven on broil is inefficient both in energy and time compared to the other options (unless you are making more than a few slices but it does accomplish what the OP wants, but what the OP likes is not toast.

I don’t have a toaster, so it’s oven for me.

But growing up we would go to my grandparents farm and they would make the best toast on one of these:

Lately I've been doing it in a cast iron pan with melted butter but the toaster oven/air fryer deal has been the go to. If we still have a toaster it's hidden away somewhere.
