There are some savages out there who, believe it or not, put their toasters AWAY in a CUPBOARD, EVERY SINGLE TIME after they use it. I have resolved that I will never again share a house with such a demented person if I ever have a choice about it

Iā€™d report you to the mods, but now I sit in horror as I wonder what community Iā€™ve signed up to. šŸ˜±

That is no way to live. Putting toasters away, pfft! Do they also iron their underwear?

They live amongst us, having no hand soap in the kitchen because ā€œyou should only wash your hands in the bathroomā€. Unsettling.

When was the last time you cleaned out your toaster? Full confession I canā€™t remember the last time.

Will dob you in immediately to the firies - toasters and electric blankets and unaccompanied candles are the 3 main causes of house fires apparently. And the firies are completely over it. If they had their way, theyā€™d ban candles, toasters and electric blankets from sale. I can see their point.

If you dont locate a toaster
Slap those slices under the grill
Watch and turn them, donā€™t roast-em
Hope that helps you get your fill

They may have had one, but it broke and was discarded. They might even have been hoping youā€™d bring one with you. They do catch on fire easily, so this is a reasonable hypothesis. You could if you wished acquire one from Kmart or Ikea or Appliances Online or whatever - they are cheap and designed to break easily and be replaced. Capitalism in action. So I didnā€™t replace mine the last time it broke, and now use the grill cos I was feeling ornery. Also, people do change the settings to their own personal preferences AND DON"T CHANGE THEM BACK - which is major uncivilised conduct in a shared kitchen. You might like to acquire one and keep it in your room to protect the settings you prefer. Just clean out the crumb tray regularly so it doesnā€™t catch fire.

I bought a cheap two slice to replace my trusted old sunbeam four slice thinking it was super old and took up too much space. The new one doesnā€™t catch crumbs very well at all and now Iā€™ve taken to make two english muffins for breakfast. My only downsizing blunder.

Anything that involves muffins is not a blunder. This is my firm opinion.

If it isnā€™t on a kitchen bench, they laid it out wrong.

Mine goes in a drawer. I donā€™t have much bench space, so very little gets to stay out.

I canā€™t even find it in any cupboards, Iā€™m beginning to wonder if they just donā€™t have one? I mean, everyone has a taster right? They have a microwave, kettle and air fryer so Iā€™m not dealing with time travellers from the 1300s hereā€¦

It would be uncivilised to not have a toaster. Monsters.

Can you toast bread in an air fryer?

Maybe they donā€™t have one. I donā€™t have a toaster because 1. I donā€™t eat toasts that often and 2. Can never fully clean a toaster and thatā€™s gross. When I want toasts, I put them in my airfyer.

You could make toasts in a frypan or oven if you couldnā€™t find the toaster
