Re: [CnD] Toast in the toaster oven
Thanks for these general ideas. As far as timing, I'll usually use a separate timer. Be it on my iPhone or a manual tactile dial crank that's marked every 2 and one half minutes or so that I bought at ILA many moons ago. But mostly, it's just the iPhone. I do have the dials on my toaster oven marked where needed, but as far as the timer, I think it's max one hour. My sighted wife used dymo tape for every ten minutes for me, but even then, I find it easier to just crank it to the left and do the digital timer. When I'm done, I’ll just turn it to off to stop the heating element. -Original Message- From: Jan via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2018 1:38 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Jan Subject: Re: [CnD] Toast in the toaster oven I set a timer for three minutes, a regular timer, not in my toaster oven dial.

Re: [CnD] Toast in the toaster oven
Every toaster oven I've had is different. Some have toast settings and some don't. For the one I have now, which is a black and decker, I think, I keep it on bake setting and put the temperature to about 350 and toast the bread for about five minutes. But you have to see what your preference is. the toaster ovens used to be on medium, light and dark and would pop when they were done, or shut off. But the two or three ovens I've had recently don't do that and I find the toast setting either too light or too dark. -Original Message- From: Cristóbal via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2018 12:25 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Cristóbal Subject: [CnD] Toast in the toaster oven Hello list, My toaster seems to be giving up the ghost.

Re: [CnD] Toast in the toaster oven
Try setting your oven at 350 and toasting for six to eight minutes; of course, how long you toast it depends on the type of bread and its thickness. I'm assuming that you're using regular store-bought white bread.
