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

sigh.. I'm sorry, I erroneously assumed that anyone who posts on the food board must know how to use the broiler setting in their oven.

That still seems like more effort than toast is worth.

Also, you're still only cooking one side of the bread. Now you just have one-sided broiled bread slices.

Even still, toasters are quicker. By the time you wait for the broiler heat up, and...

butter the toast and put it on a cookie sheet. Move one of the racks in your oven to the slats that are nearest the top of the oven, which will be at most a couple of inches below the broiler element. Put the cookie sheet on the top rack. If you have a decent oven your toast will be ready in about 90 seconds.

I'll already be done eating my toast.

Furthermore, toasters make more efficient use of equipment. I don't need a special tray to lay my bread on to put it in the toaster. After you're done making "toast" in the oven, you now have a dirty cookie sheet to clean.

Imagine heating a whole oven and dirtying a whole cookie sheet just for a couple slices of toast? This is a complete misallocation of resources.

Toasters are far superior for making toast than the oven.
