With some basic tools and mechanical knowledge, you could modify your toaster to NOT eject the bread when it's done. Bam, dedicated side-toaster for grilled cheese, bruschetta, whatever your imagination can dream up.

That one has to be a trap - even without the fun toast-launch mechanism most toasters are like mine in that they have a mechanism for squeezing the toast into the centre of the cavity before they toast. So you'll just end up with melted cheese next to the filaments for subsequent toastings and fun with fire.

I am sorry, but are there even any toasters without a launch function included? While I was shopping in my electronic market I looked around a bit, just for poo poo and giggles, and there was literally not a single toaster that did not throw out the toast once it is done :shrug:

Also, most ovens have either a separate grill (broiler if you're American, I think?) or a grill mode you can use to the same effect.

When I was a kid I did use the toaster to make "fried bread" by buttering both sides of frozen bread and putting it into the toaster (not side on mind you).

It...kind of worked and did produce a pale imitation of actually frying slices in a pan. If anything did run off it likely ended up in the crumb tray.

Our Dualit toaster does not, with the claim that keeping your toast inside the toaster helps it stay warm. It's great for my toast-loving but very forgetful husband.

Didn't want to throw my nutrition degree out the window, so I made the cake with whole wheat flour, canola oil and sugar-free, calcium fortified hot chocolate. Plus I replaced half the oil with applesauce. Just as delicious!

I don't know why the whole world seems to struggle with peeling goddamned garlic so badly. You cut the top and bottom off the clove then peel the skin off. It takes seconds per clove and almost no effort but every time I am cooking and someone sees me peeling garlic they trip over themselves to tell me about this One Weird Trick, Chefs Hate It, which is normally to crush the clove with the flat side of your knife before peeling but then I have to spend a magnitude of time longer peeling the skin off the lovely, crushed cloves and then I have a bunch of crushed cloves which I didn't want because I wanted to slice them or cook them whole or whatever.

You're not supposed to crush it, just press down til you hear the skin crack. Then it's peel city and your garlic isn't crushed and you didn't lose any garlic to slicing, and since you don't have moist garlic exposed, you don't get dry garlic skin stuck to the ends. People telling you to go all Of Mice and Men on garlic want to hurt you and your garlic experience.

Minced garlic in a jar is great for some things (like making white trash garlic bread) but it definitely doesn't replace fresh garlic in every application.

A couple years after I graduated my college faced a huge scandal when they tried to cover up a dude who didn't follow this advice. His defense on the stand was the girl was already dead and he thought she was sleeping when he broke into her dorm room and blew his load on the pillow over her face.


And speaking of college, all this grilled cheese talk makes me think of the time a friend of mine back then thought he was a genius when he tried to use his george foreman grill to make one. He pulled the sandwich out, started walking away with it, and all the melted cheese just poured out the side onto his carpet.

A while back the local university got in trouble because their cafeteria was caught using their industrial dish washer to clean all the vegetables. Which seems like it was either some highdeas or lifehack logic at work.

A GF is basically just a panini press so I have no idea how your friend hosed this one up. I do this at least once a week and I have never encountered any sort of molten cheese slough.

I have never bought a mio before (seriously just drink some loving water you fat gently caress), but I feel like that bottle has to be the biggest pain in the rear end to clean. mio is just pure syrup in a lovely plastic bottle. You will never get the sugar smell out.

I think pretty much all of those liquid water flavors are sugar-free and zero calorie. Some may be as high as five calories! Fat fucks, indeed. If Mio and its like were sweetened with sugar, you couldn't fit it in that little container.

Just go ask the Brits who are the cultural pioneers of dumping loads of flavored sugar syrup into water. When I visited the UK I was constantly baffled by the people my age there who were constantly ragging on the US for being fat fucks who eat terribly because they would sit around mixing horrendous syrup drinks and eating the fattiest saltpile of lunch foods imaginable.

If you remove the label you can twist the top off:



...and rinse it out, if you're a :spergin: about potentially getting trace amounts of non-sugar sweetener in whatever else you'd put in the bottle you could probably even get a narrow bottle brush inside of it. I really don't understand the problem behind reusing something that's just going to be thrown out/recycled anyways. However I guess you'd never need to put condiments in a smaller container because you shouldn't eat them anyways - condiments aren't biologically necessary to sustain life functions.
