TOAST or BAKE?
One feature
of this toaster/oven is you have to first set a dial to bake, or toast, then
set a timer. In order to toast an
English muffin you need to set the timer to dark, and after about ten minutes
of an annoying tick, tick, tick it finally goes BING and the muffins are done.
It has taken
me a while to learn that before you start the coffee, cook the bacon and fry an
egg, you have to put in the muffins first.
Today, for
the third time in two weeks, I put in the muffins and dialed in “Dark,” fixed
the coffee, cooked the bacon, and fried an egg.
When the egg was done, I heard the BING, and was ready to enjoy my
breakfast.
EXCEPT!
The toaster
oven was set to bake, not toast. My
muffins were warm, but not toasted. It
took ten more minutes to make them toast and by then my eggs and bacon were
cold and the coffee too strong.
I shouted
agitatedly upstairs,
“KAREN!”
“What!”
“You did it again!”
“Did what again?”
“You left the toaster/oven on ‘bake’.”
“So?”
“So I baked my muffins instead of
toasting them!”
“You should have just changed the
dial to ‘toast’.”
“No!
You need to change the dial back to ‘toast’ after you're finished
baking!”
“Yeah…well now you know how I feel
when you leave the toilet seat up!”
Mrs. Cranky
logic strikes again.
Haha, SD never leave the toilet seat up, in fact he's fanatical about putting not only the seat but the lid down too but he does keep changing the setting on the microwave to cook when I only use it to defrost and it drives me mad.
ReplyDeleteStill, I guess it's small compensation for the things he has to put up with ;)
We have a similar problem with the settings on the regular toaster. Doc like his toast very dark (burned to me) so I ge burned toast if I forget to change it. At least it takes only a couple of minutes for it to burn instead of 10. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm that way about microwaves. Did you know there are different power sttings on a microwave? To me it's just an on/off appliance. The package says microwave for 2 minutes, that's what I do. At 600 mega/volt/ohms. Huh?

just laughing...
ReplyDeleteThere isn't any logic in questioning a woman's logic.
ReplyDeleteAnd your point would be...?
ReplyDeletePlease hug your very intelligent and perceptive wife for me.
ReplyDeleteKinda ruins a morning, doesn't it. After all these years I have grandkids in residence who like toast for breakfast. Except they like that pale white bread stuff, toasted on setting 1. Setting 1 doesn't even warm my eight grain dark toast. Do they put it back on 3 before they leave for school at 7 am. NO. In my secret heart, when I find it on 3 when I toast my bread I hope they forgot to go to 1 and got real toast for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteAlert. This may be a post some day.
Balance.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing balance!
Now I really wish I had a toaster/oven in my house to teach my husband a lesson!!
ReplyDeleteWe have that issue with the shower head. I prefer to step in and wash my hair first. Not my toes.
ReplyDeleteToaster ovens, toilet seats, potato, potahto...
