When I was growing up there were 8 people in my aunt's family. They always
made toast on a large cookie sheet in oven of their electric range. The
first side was dry toasted, the bread was then flipped and lightly
buttered, then toasted. It's a fond memory of some of the best toast I've
ever eaten. Toast for two in our household is most often made in the
toaster. The oven is too much trouble most of the time.
