Helpful browning notes
Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread.. Therefore, differences in denseness and moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times..
For slightly dry bread or thinly sliced bread, use a lighter setting than you normally would, as it will toast more quickly..
For very fresh bread, thickly sliced bread or whole wheat bread, use a darker setting than normal.. Dense, moist bread may also require a darker setting..
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a darker toast setting.. For English muffins, we suggest you use the Total Touch® browning selection on the custom settings panel and setting #6..
