TOAST - Why does it get cold within seconds of you removing it?

Question

from the toaster or the grill.. more so than most other foods.???

it sucks putting butter on cold toast!!

Answer 1

because bread is made with lots of air inside it and the bread has flowing air through it and is usally very thin.

that is why!!!

Answer 2

The toast has air pockets or bubbles on it where air has been trapped during the heating, because toast is thin and crumbly that warm air escapes, causing the toast cool rapidly but don't touch it just after it's been in the toaster for 2-3 minutes, even though it cools rapidly it's still over and around the cooling heat source.

Answer 3

Laws of therodynamics.

Sounds stupid (seems all my answers do today)

Every thought of keeping a hair dryer nearby, also make sure the butter is room temp. Why restaurants use those little packs

Toast does cause heartburn because the process turns the starches in the bread into sugars. Easier to digest

Answer 4

No, getting your tonsils out will not help out with strep throat or common colds. These things infect a different area of your throat, you just don't notice it so much until your tonsils swell from it. The ONLY thing getting your tonsils out will do is prevent future tonsillitous. I just had my tonsils out and it was the worst experience of my life. I wouldn't recomend it unless you get tonsillitous 3 times or more a year. I was getting it 5 times a year and it lasted 30 days or more. This went on for over 10 years! So I had them out. I rather go thru child birth than have that surgery again!

Answer 5

its bercause you only heat the surface of the bread and then that surface is exposed v quickly to cold ait again when it is removed. I agree with keeping the butter/spread out and read then you can slap it straight on..

Sometime I like making toast 1 piece at a time and eating straight outta the toaster.... ummmmmm

Answer 6

It's because once the bread is dried out (as toast) the bread particles are tiny but overall have a big surface area compared to their volume for the heat to be radiated away into the air around each particle. If you took a big lump of hot rock it would stay hot much longer than if the lump of rock was split into fragments, as the tiny fragments have a greater surface area for heat transfer

Answer 7

All depends on the ingredients. A very dense bread made of rye or wholegrains retains it's heat for much longer. In fact I've burnt my mouth on home made rice bread from the toaster. The mass produced wheat loaves made with yeast accelerators and a cocktail of chemicals are so light and fluffy, there's not much left in there to hold on to heat.

Answer 8

That`s the Law of Averages my friend!

Soup is boiling hot, ice cream is ice cold, butter is chilled, wine is at room temperature & toast is lukewarm!!!

Doesn`t it sound rather fair to you?

P.S. Do you keep your toaster next to your fridge/freezer at all? That might explains things a bit... [LOL]

Answer 9

I agree, cold toast sucks, why haven't nasa been onto this yet?
i used to put it back under the grill just to heat the butter and jam.

I also don't agree with the airy food thing, pasta goes cold too quickly as well

Answer 10

Because it is dry and not water retentive; lets air escape. Watery foods seem to retain heat. You need the butter at the ready as SOON as the toast pops up...mmm

Answer 11

Put the butter on the bread and then toast it!!
Great question
