Marc and I recently found a recipe for the perfect toast. Apparently we’ve been making it all wrong! So, on Will It Work Wednesday we took the instructions step by step and guess what we found out?

Here are the instructions

1. Use normal bread that’s half an inch thick.

2, Set the knob on your toaster to 5 if it goes to 6. If your toaster goes to 10, then set it just past the 8 mark. It’s to get the perfect crunch.

3. Toast it for exactly 3 minutes and 36 seconds. That’s for a 900 watt toaster.

4. Wait exactly 17 seconds before you spread the butter on. You want the butter to absorb into the bread without making it soggy. 

Scientists have studied this and say that the ideal piece of toast should be 12 times crunchier on the outside than it is in the middle.

Try it and let us know what you think. These are the pictures of our experience. Epic fail for us.

Update *** My friend Michele from PeoplePlaces.org has the corner on great toast. Here is her recommendation for the perfect toast.
