There is no clear way to get the toast out without using a conductive implement like a fork or your finger.

We've been to the Moon ffs

Edit: Woah seems Lemmy really likes this kind of casual post

Use a toaster oven

I think your toaster might be broken.... The pieces are supposed to rise half way up after it's done toasting

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah, I'm just using a non-standard bread size

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Kinda seems like you answered your own question.

The solution is on your end, don't put in slices that are too thick.

There's more than one way to toast a slice.

There are toasters with wider slots:

Here's a conveyor toaster:

Here's another cool, old toaster, you push a lever to flip the bread, toasts one side at a time:

This would work over your stove:

A glass sided toaster that splits in half:

Btw, why is there none with a hinge, so the edge goes up?

My toaster came with plastic tweezers.

They sell wooden tongs specifically for this purpose.

For example:

What you need is a better toaster, like a 2 slice dualit. They are amazing, you still raise the toast when it's on and has a longer popup

see: 1920's "Sweetheart Toaster"

If i remember correctly, this is a gimmick so you can have a romantic toast breakfast where it releases your toast at the same time (British culture, eh?).

But when I heard about it, i instead honed in on how its design provides a FABULOUS solution to getting ALL-CRUmBED-oUT, which is recurring the problem you identify in your post. See, since the sweetheart toaster suspends the toast in the air and heats on one side at a time (a more elegant solution, I may add), it doesn't trap any debris of any sort into any part of of the device at any time - Try saying that with a mouthful of jammy bread!

This particular toaster design is from 106 years ago I think.

That sounds like it was written by a LLM AI. Why do you, and other people love depending on them? It is inaccurate, and bad.

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I saw somewhere that the brain has a really hard time distinguishing abundance and oppression. Because thinking is hard, having a robot spew garbage into your eye sockets is somehow more comforting to the majority of people. Including those in this very thread!

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I grew up before wiki, and google. It isn't hard to research stuff without ai, imo.
