All breads do not toast alike. When toasting dark or other rich breads use a slightly higher
setting than used for plai n w hite br eads. U se a low er setti ng for fruit l oav es as wel l as sw eet

The best toast is made from bread that is one or two days old.
When slicing bread by hand, slices should be cut evenly allowing for better, more even

toasting.
Toast thin sliced bread on a lighter toasting setting.
Toaster pastries should be toasted in your toaster using a low setting. DO NOT place

foil-wrapped food (r emove all protectiv e wrapping s before placing in toaster) or pastries with
runny fillings or open frostings in the toaster slots.
