HINTS AND TIPS
25. If you toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
26. Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
27. Old or thin bread, crisps faster than fresh or thick bread-use a lower setting.
28. Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much quicker than ordinary
bread, so they too should be toasted on a lower setting.
CRUMBS
29. Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This is
unhygienic and is a potential fire hazard.
30. Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.
31. Slide the crumb tray out from underneath the toaster, and empty it.
32. Wipe the crumb tray with a damp cloth, dry it, and then place it back in the toaster.
33. Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
