Me either. I grew up making it in the oven or toaster oven because the
toasters we had as a kid all burned everything. My previous toaster was
great! It had a bread brain so the toast was always perfect.

What I have now is nice. Put the honey whole wheat bread in, push down the
lever and when it is done, it is the way Angela likes it. But it is not
toasted enough for me. This bread is especially moist to start with. It
toasts an English Muffin, white bread or Italian perfectly. I had to put
mine down for not quite another full cycle and it's great. If I put it down
twice it can get a little overdone. Not quite full on burned but I would
prefer it slightly less toasted.
