Here’s How To Make Perfect Toast

Making toast is easy, right? Nope. Like everything else, it turns out we have no idea what we are doing. Here are four tips for making the perfect slice of toast.

1. Use normal bread that's half-an-inch thick, not Texas toast, which is the thick stuff.

2. Set the knob on your toaster to 5 if it goes to 6. If your toaster goes to 10, the equivalent would be just past the 8 mark. It's to get the perfect amount of crunchiness.

3. Toast it for exactly 3 minutes and 36 seconds. That's with a run-of-the-mill, 900-watt toaster.

4. Wait exactly 17 seconds before you spread butter on. You want the butter to absorb into the bread without making it soggy. And if you wait 17 seconds, it'll cool down enough to make that happen.

Believe it or not, scientists have actually studied this, and found the ideal piece of toast should be 12 times crunchier on the outside than it is in the middle. Who funds this crap anyway?
