Breakfast. Saturday night cheese toasties is another reliable supposition…….

Ohhh – let’s say – when 25% of the surface area has been browned.

it is a level thing.. surely you have a toaster born since 1980 that tells you which level?

Only when it chooses to.

are you guessing?

Apologies for an attempt at a serious answer :)

When the Maillard reaction is 57.3% completed within the 0.5 mm of both surfaces of the piece of bread.

our toaster doesn’t work that well.. the children have to pop it up with their bare fingers.

Not really. Caramelised, weakly oxidised and dried.

why 57.3? is that a tested number?

When it pops up and is observed to be toasted – before that it’s in a quantummy toast/bread superpositional combo.

Pommy bread is very dark on one side and raw on the other, the raw side goes wet and soft. Pommy toast is not bad when you get used to it.

is it caramelization or is it the Maillard reaction?

wait a minute.. something isn’t right here

I was only thinking of modernizing the toaster at lunch time

toasters need a small smoke detector to stop burning toast

maybe to help improve that by adding a small camera that sees the toast, and a small cpu that analyzes the colour of the toast, and browns the toast to ones liking

Atheist toast. It looks just like the Big Bang and then billions of years of evolution through natural selection.

you only need a laser to monitor how dark the toast is…..

There was a toaster years ago that was worked by observing the colour of the toast.

But of course, it assumes white bread is all anybody eats and sometimes the simple solutions are the best.

one might incorporate the laser as both the monitor and the toasting element……

that could make it cheaper

off to kickstarter

I suppose it stays bread the whole time it’s toasted, until digestion starts maybe, which is somewhere in the mouth, but stops looking like bread at some point, at which point we venture the burning question. Sometime later it turns to sh#t, but at what point I wonder. Does in need to pass through an ar#hole to become sh#t.

I burnt my toast at lunch time, scrapped off the burnt bits

it made my minestrone soup taste better

I think if you going to all the effort of modernizing the toaster, it may as well a permanent thing, not just for lunchtime…

Anyone remember Burning Question Man?

What?

I thought they were completely different and one is not the other.. can they both occur at the same time?

Yes, they can both occur at the same time under some circumstances. They are quite different reactions though.
