TOASTING TIPS

The Lotus Toaster makes it possible to
perfectly toast everything from thick
slices of artisan bread to bagels, English
muffins, and gluten-free or thinly sliced
homemade bread.
There is a wide variety of breads that
can be toasted. Heartier dense breads
will take longer to toast, while sweet
fruited breads will toast faster due to
their level of sugar. Fresh bread will
take longer to toast than day-old bread.
Adjust your Toaster according to your
personal preference and the type of
bread you are toasting.
• Toasting is affected by bread
temperature. Room-temperature
bread may toast to a medium color
on the 3–5 setting. The same type of
bread that has been refrigerated may
require a darker setting to reach a
medium color.
• Moisture content also affects
toasting. Fresh bagels, made locally,
have a higher moisture content
than bagels purchased in the bread
section of the supermarket. A second,
shorter toasting cycle may be needed
to reach desired browness.

• Because of their irregular surface,
English muffins may require more
than one toasting cycle. After
toasting for one cycle on the highest
setting, if a darker shade is desired,
adjust the Shade Selector to a lower
setting and toast for a second cycle.
Watch closely to avoid overbrowning.
English muffins cut with a knife toast
more evenly than English muffins split
with a fork.
• When toasting only one slice, the
bread may be placed in any slot of
the Toaster. Select 1 SLICE to ensure
even browning on both sides of the
bread.
• On the 4-slice Toaster, when toasting
one or two slices, best results are
achieved by using either the left two
Slots or the right two Slots of the
Toaster at the same time.
• For toasting frozen or refrigerated
bagels, select both BAGEL and
FROZEN to ensure the bagel is
toasted on one side and thoroughly
warmed.
NOTE: The Lotus Toaster is designed to
use radiant heat to toast bread. While
toasting, heating elements do not need
to be glowing, or evenly glowing, to be
functioning properly.
