Yep I'd hire someone straight away

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They peaked. It's all downhill from here.

This is how my inferior toasts look like

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)
  1. How it looks
  2. What it looks like

Ya gotta pick a lane, dude!

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

Nah, I got my non native speaker allowance with me officer

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I’ve given up on this. Thank you for still having the energy to fight this fight.

This is how my upvote looks like.

[–] OrganicMustard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Check a look at that person's toast

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 1 day ago

Does it always include the watermark? I didn't realize toasters were snobs for copyright but it makes sense.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 1 day ago

This is good toast, too.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Eh, if your toast looks like that, whip up some eggs, milk, a bit of vanilla extract, a bit of sugar, a bit of ground cinammon, and optionally a bit of salt...

Place that toast in your mix bowl for a few seconds, flip it over, few more seconds, then remove...

And now you have some excellent French toast.

The bits of slightly burned parts juat give it a more complex mouthfeel.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You.. toast it and then egg wash it, and then eat it without cooking the egg..?

I mean that sounds nasty af to me, but you do you :)

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It can work that way, yes.

Its not as tasty or fluffy as egg washing the bread and then baking or cooking it, but if you ... braise the toast lightly, or alter the proportions of your very well stirred mix for immersion... yeah, it can work, and at least some people I grew up with prefferred it that way.

You can also use a heavy cream in additiom to, or even instead of milk, again, gotta change the proportions of your mix to get the desired taste and viscosity from the mix.

That's not a Toast, it's a Zwieback!

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 1 day ago

Ja ! Genau !

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Only if it comes from an Einback! Signed, an American with good German language knowledge and missing cultural knowledge who had a bunch of trouble getting toast initially in Germany. I was told in a restaurant to go to a bakery if I wanted toast, and was then very confused when I was given a loaf of untoasted white bread.

I get it now, but English words that mean different things in German just felt unfair at the beginning.

I'm not sure how to feel. Her username is a literal threat.

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

That warning... All recipes should have an expiration date similar to the food they create. I can support that cause.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if'n you don't know, Adrian Chiles has the most hilariously tepid column of all time

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's hilarious.

Toast or pan fry?

I don't know why it's so hard for toaster to toast evenly, but every toaster I've ever had is incapable of such even toasting.

I prefer a tad darker btw, little bit more caramelized.

[–] Noerknhar@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago

Honestly, that is an achievement. Don't play it down. I couldn't make such a toast.

[–] shatterling@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I appreciate the sacrifice to show us this beautiful toast, knowing that to wait and take a photo would render it cold and therefore bad toast.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That would just render it cold toast. Less pristine, but absolutely not bad

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I love a cold and somewhat soggy butter garlic bread toast. You may crucify me.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I've gotta be honest.. slightly cold toast that doesn't immediately absorb the butter is sort of right up my alley

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

What? How long does taking a photo take?

Since when has toast run on new car devaluation rates?

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

What, no Jesus appeared? That's only a 7/10 tost.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 day ago

Pff... Je sais reconnaître une biscotte !

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 1 day ago

The secret is toaster oven. All best toast comes from them.

The color of clogged aorta 🫶

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

On sight of the immaculate toast, I would turn to stone as my animating vis acknowledges it has completed its purpose in this form and moves on.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Results like this are much more achievable with fried slice. Might get fat tho.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 1 day ago

Ehh if it was good for uncle Dickie at 105, I'll take the odds.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

God I love fried bread. Don't eat it cos it's about 4000 calories of pure fat but god it tastes good

Totally unrelatedly, excited to use my leftover no-knead brioche to make french toast tomorrow...

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Literally just a fried slice of bread. You know how good the bread gets in a cheese toastie? All crisp and buttery? You can do that even if cheese isn't involved.

A peanut butter and strawberry conserve sandwich fried in butter is one of those delicacies you can only really eat a few times in your life without turning into an elephant, but it's worth the risk.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Fake news. That's sprayed tan. Can't deceive me!

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

i prefer mine a bit lighter but that is one admirable piece of toast

Looks dry, I prefer those conveyor toasters, they give you those nice dark spots and edges while keeping the inside moist

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

When making grilled cheese, use a thin layer of mayo instead of butter for picture-perfect results. Might not be as good for breakfast toast, but would probably work fine. You can still add butter.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

On a scale of 1 to Chong, how high are you?

You're just jealous
