    Breakfast

    I toasted up some Trader Joe’s crumpets this morning in an effort to be fancy. As you can see it looked a little sad to know I was going to eat it up. The crumpets were pretty tasty with the addition of butter and jam. I’m not sure if the toaster brings them back to best state of fresh cooked though. If anyone has any advice about toasting crumpets that would be great.

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> Here’s a good article from the site toaster.org about how a toaster makes good toastworks_figure1.gif.

    A toaster works by applying radiant heat directly to a bread slice. When the bread’s surface temperature reaches about 310 degrees Farenheit, a chemical change known as the Maillard reaction begins. Sugars and starches start to caramelize – turn brown – and to take on intense flavors.
