now why is my toaster making my bread hard an brown?

Answer 1

Uh, because it's toasting it. If you don't want it to do that, don't put your bread in the toaster.

Answer 2

Is it a good toaster?

I had an old one that started doing this and it wasn't getting hot enough and was sort of baking the bread as opposed to toasting it.

Fiddle with the setting see if you can make a difference, otherwise I think you may have to replace it, they are quite cheap to replace and worth it if you have overbaked bread that tastes like tree bark!!!

Good luck

Answer 3

This process is called dextrinization - the starch (i.e the bread) in the presence of dry heat (from toaster) is converted to pyrodextrins which is brown in colour, hence giving the brown to the bread. The bread becomes hard because the moisture content in the presence of heat is reduced, hence becomes hard

Answer 4

Uhhh...a toaster is supposed to make bread brown and somewhat hard. It's toast!

Answer 5

To troubleshoot:
Push down the lever like you would if you had bread in it. Then stick your hand in and see if the toaster turns your hand brown too.
If so, then you are still retarded.

Answer 6

Because it's a toaster.

Answer 7

If it is too hard and too brown .turn the setting on it down . The knob should be on the side if it is not look on the bottom. If it happens to not have a setting knob then you will have to stand and watch it and pop it up your self when it is as brown as you like it.

Answer 8

ever think of maybe turn the darkness setting down .there is usually one found on every toaster no matter what year it was made..its funny because when im half asleep i forget too and wonder the samething..just turn it down

Answer 9

IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE HOW TO TURN YOUR SETTING DOWN,GIVE IT A MINUTE ,WITH THE SAME LEVER YOU POPPED IT DOWN, MANUALLY POP IT UP.IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A NEW TOASTER WITH DIRECTIONS !

Answer 10

your settings might be too high, or u got a crappy toaster.
