How to toast a piece of bread?

You can't! This is the biggest disappointment I've ever spent $$ on. It gets so hot, my cabinet gets too hot to touch.

Easy - just place the bread on a rack a little below center. Set to "bake" at 450. Toasts perfectly in just a few minutes, both sides with no turning. I almost didn't buy this because people said it doesn't toast, but it makes great toast, and toasted cheese sandwiches too. The key is to place it closer to the bottom to get both sides toasted with no turning.

It doesn't have a toaster feature. Some broil, but I either use a small toaster (got it from Wal-Mart for about $7 a few years ago for camping) or I use a skillet on the stove and heat it up really hot and then add the bread and flip it (like tortillas being warmed) until it's as brown as I like. I figure this was only $79.99 and I shouldn't complain since I'm the one that missed that it never claimed to toast.

I use the broiler to toast garlic bread, one side only, takes a couple of minutes.

A toaster would be your best bet. But if this is all that you have, place the bread on the rack, place the temp at the highest temp on the oven and don't wait for it to heat up. Make sure that the rack is in the middle slot. Keep an eye on it.

The manual is totally inconsistent on this. At another point it says: "Do not toast breads thicker than 1 inch in the toasting slots. For extra thick bread slices, warm using the warming rack." So which is it, can you warm with the warming rack or not??

I have the two slice one, when you press lets say bagel, the bagel button will come on. Must be a defect I am sure when you press toast there should be a blue light that tells you what you are toasting..as in reheat the blue light comes on. Guess you will have to send it back..

Works fine for me. I use it at the office and toast azekial bread all the time usually adding meat and cheese to the bread.

Sorry. We haven't used ours as a toaster. We've used the convection oven and the crisp component and that works great. I'm thinking it would toast but you would need to put the highest rack in it to toast. We still use a toaster on the counter for toast because it's so quick. Sorry we can't be more helpful.

I don't have the toaster here with me but I can tell you that a slice of packaged rye bread is a little large for the toaster. It sticks out of the top of the toaster a little.

I throw it on my George Foreman. It toasts beautifully in about 7ish minutes

You don't need instructions. Look at the picture, you set the bread on the horizontal piece of plastic, put it through the archway until it hits the barrier(adjustable for thickness of slice. The archway has a slit that the knife uses as a guide and that's it. My problem with the product is that it is too small for the bread that comes out of my bread maker. It is designed for a loaf about the size of a store bought loaf.

I never tried toasting bread but I grilled many times. It grills chicken very well. This machine is amazing.

It has a sandwich maker plate that you could use. Or you could use the waffle plate. The bread just won't look like "normal" French toast.

The bread toasts properly, both sides. Honestly, I've given up bagels (reluctantly) and haven't used this function.

Yes. You can broil, bake, or toast. For bake, there a temperature setting dial. The broil setting is at the upper (hot) end of the temperature dial. For the bake, broil, or toast time, you turn the timer setting to the number of minutes that you want. For toast, there are light, medium, or dark pictures of a slice of bread. These are basically just shorter amounts of time than the ten-minute setting. The toast settings are pretty accurate. I use the dark setting for rye bread, and medium setting for most other kinds of bread. I have had this toaster oven for several months. It is great. It has a very nice handle that stays cool and is sturdy. (Our last Hamilton Beach toaster still works, but the handle, that was only held on by 1 screw, broke.)

The inside toasts, but the outside warms . It will crisp up if you use a higher setting. Bread is toasted just like any other toaster.

it will toast bread but only one side at a time, it works great for making sandwichs put the meat on the grate and the buttered toast next to it, then when the toast is browned flip the toast put the meat on it then cheese let it melt put the halfs together

Someone posted this on Walmart's Q&A about this DDO... A: Yes, this can be used to bake bread. There are many different recipes available, with many, many variations. Here is a basic home baked bread recipe: 1 1/4 cup warm water 1 package active dry yeast 2 tbsp soft shortening 2 tsp salt 2 tbsp sugar 3 cups sifted flower Pour warm water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water, stir until dissolved. Add shortening, salt, sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. Stir in remaining flour and beat with a spoon until smooth, 1 1/2 minutes. Scrape batter from the sides of the bowl. Cover dough with clean cloth and let rise in a warm place, free from draft until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. When batter has risen, stir down by beating about 25 strokes. Spread batter in a greased Dutch oven. Batter will be sticky. Let rise in warm place until batter reaches 1/4" from top of pot, about 40 min. Bake in oven at 375F for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. When done, brush top with butter while still hot. Posted By Lodge Product Expert

Sorry took so long to answer. I have never toasted large quantities of bread so I can't really answer that.

Hi Yvonne J, I just wipe the toaster over with a damp cloth wrung out hot from clean soapy water. Wipe it all over, then go with non-soapy cloth. I stick my finger into the shape of the toaster on the inside - it seems to work well.
