My friend has a nice rack but I don't get to use it very often
 |
|
By:
Use both so you can have 14 slices ready for your delectation
 |
|
By:
My recommendation would be to go with the ceramic one -
(a)softer profile more in keeping with a welcoming breakfast ambience... (b)takes up less space (c) Unlikely the 8-slice rack would ever be full unless many people are eating together. The last two slices would have gone cold by the time one got round to them. For a variety of practical and aesthetic reasons therefore -ceramic it is. From such small steps can revolutions grow. |

Is the toast pre-buttered?
If not it would seriously interfere with my stacking approach which ensures that the butter is nicely melted when I work my way through the stack to spread the Tesco Welsh salted. hth. |

very sound advice,you seem to be a man with high intelligence. |
|
By:
surely no one pre butters toast,and then puts them on a rack,a total fopar

An ideal wedding present. Salad servers as well(if they're close family).

It is gratifying to note that so many forumites lavish such care and attention on their breakfasting practices. By doing so they ensure that they face the day with a sense of psychological well-being. Thus fortified, they are maximally prepared to meet any challenges life may throw at them.
The cumulative effect of this is indubitably good for society and induces in me a warm surge of optimism. ( It is to be sadly noted, however, that such optimistic surges are invariably of short duration.  ) |

Any man who does not butter toast within 10 seconds of it coming out of the toaster, or use my stacking method, to ensure that the butter is nicely melted is a smarmy snotty-nosed, lower middle class tw4t who spends all his working day sucking up to his boss, sh1tting on his colleagues and secretly wears silk knickers under his brown suit.
... just my opinion.  |

 There is much food for thought in what you say...though a pardonable tinge of comic exaggeration may be detected.  |

Clouseau, I trust this is a reference to the persons of that ilk who wear the PINK silk knickers, and NOT the hard-working ordinary decent sex perverts of Britain who wear the black ones? Quite honestly this important distinction should have been made at the time of writing. |

Huggy,
there are more questions about toast that need to be answered. Do you eat the crusts? Do you eat it as a whole slice, or cut it first? If you cut, do you do it straight, diagonally or squares? If you're having boiled eggs, do you cut your toast into strips for dipping? If you burn it, do you lob it into the rubbish bin, or scrape the black crap off and then eat it? |
|

Two slices mate?

My sister used to like her toast burnt.
Not burnt to a cinder, but not far from it. She used to get a bollocking for getting the crap in the butter dish |

By:
What a very excellent thread.
Congratulations on bringing this important ponderable to the forum Huggy! |

On my behalf: I don't eat toast anymore since I gave up bread and when I did, I didn't use a toast rack (shame to say) BUT some years ago Lurpack butter had a promotion on whereby if you sent off so many wrappers and so much money, they replaced them with a bona-fide Lurpack 'Butterman' ceramic toast rack - which seemed too good an opportunity to miss.
So I sent my wrappers and money off and received one. It's unused, in the top of a cupboard, but it's a thing of majesty. It's a 4 slicer, by the way, but the sections are so big it could easily accommodate 8 'normal' slices - or 4 'doorsteps'. |

I don't suppose you'd swap it for 6 Peppa Pig ice creams would you TT? It sounds like very heaven.
|
|
By:
Hahah! NO, Alun!
Peppa Pigs are too easy to scoff. I can admire my Butterman toast rack for years to come, without ever using it! |
|
By:
Ah well, it was worth a try. No flies on TT. Lurpak by MILES my favourite buttery stuff.
|
|
By:
Look at what I just found TT. Which one is yours?

|
By:
What a brilliant find Alun!
I've just inspected mine and believe it to be a 'Douglas'. I remember the egg cups being on offer too but didn't go in for them as I only eat yolks. I'm sure you'll agree that the collection makes for a very eye-catching toasty rack? |
|
By:
Very eye-catching indeed TT. I will clearly have to bid for one, but including the egg paraphernalia.
It's easy to see now why you refuse to part with yours, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Toes Towers throwing its doors open to a public eager to pay to see your own magnificent item. |

By:
A gem of a thread which contains an intoxicating mix (blend?) of fact and whimsy.
Who knows but it might evolve into the world's only long-running discussion of kitchen/dining culture -where many of the horrors, pitfalls, delights and dilemmas of this basic human arena can be ventilated and,where necessary, resolved. |
|
By:
I really think it most advisable for you to bid for the whole shaboom Alun, as I can see you're a man who appreciates such magnificent breakfast artifacts!
I may indeed consider throwing open the doors for people to see mine! |

By:
Easily adapted into a set of 'knuckledusters'

Make no mistake Tommy, all over the country we will be seeing stickers on the back windows of cars leaving Stoke, bearing the slogan "We have seen Tommy Toes house and his Lurpak toast rack. Well worth the £9.99 entry fee. (£19.99 for pensioners)". |

The Sentinel sponsors Toest racks.

By:
Ceramic models, such as the one pictured, promote toast sweat. In the interests of hygiene, therefore, a gentleman should only ever use a silver wire-framed rack.

Great thread, Huggy
I don't have a toast rack |

Neither do I M_D, I feel like I'm missing out

Does anyone make butter curls these days? When I was a kid it was what posh people did. Haven't seen them for years.
