Maybe 2 or 3 times a year I buy rye or sourdough bread that comes in a loaf
that has slices of bread that are longer and narrower than your average
bread slice. To toast them I start with them one way in the toaster, leave
for a short amount of time and then flip it and do the other way.
Invariably one end isn't quite toasted enough and it is too toasted in the
middle.

I know I could do the toast in the oven but I hate to heat the oven up for 2
pieces of toast. I don't have a toaster oven or the room to store one.

How do you do yours?

Use the broiler or the bbq.

We usually do the same. Sometimes, we butter them and fry them until
browned.

I've never tried to toast one of those long pieces of bread. I would
either toast them in a frying pan, or more likely, cut them in half and
just toast one piece of bread at a time, one half on each side.

My Kitchen Aid toaster has one long wide slot, touted as a two slice
toaster but will toast three slices... has a defrost function... will
defrost and toast two uncut bagels or three regular sized slices of
packaged bread. I have it about 20 years and it still works great. I
don't know if it's still available... I bought it from Chef's Catalog,
I think it cost $69 which seemed pricy back then, it was available in
like 5 colors, mine is white. I use this for toasting extra long
slices all the time:

Yes. I'll put one half pointy side up, and the other pointy side down.
If the two halves don't fit side by side, sometimes I'll trim a little
bit off.

I must be stupid. Never thought once to cut them.

Cool! I might get one of those next time I need a toaster.

It is nice to have them long and toasted.

I like the description. It says "with extra wide slots" with extra
wide slots.

I do the same, cut or tear in half and toast.

Our toaster oven doesn't do it. The heat from top and bottom isn't enough to
accomplish the top and bottom toasting at the same time. I wouldn't buy one
just for that.

Try the pan toast method.

Good rye or sourdough bread should be pan-toasted/grilled. Butter the
bread well on one side then put that side down in the hot pan, when
toasted, slide to the side, add a pat of butter and flip the bread over
on the fresh butter, toast until done.

Well I can't do that unless you can put foil in the pan. I have to keep my
pans gluten free.

Can I do that with foil in the pan?

Sometimes I cut them in half and do two half slices so they fit into
the heated compartment

I buy both Shepherds White and Rye breads, using the cut each piece in
half method. I would rather not cut slices, so I may buy myself one
of the "long slot toasters" I just found through Googling (exactly
that phrase). Prices range from under $30 to well over $100.

I have a toaster oven so it's not a problem. If I didn't, I'd cut the
slices in half before putting in the toaster and watch carefully so the
cut edge doesn't burn.

I cut them in half first. :-)

I've been baking my own sourdough bread in a square loaf that's a little
too big to fit in the toaster. (so I cut them in half) I think I'm
going to try doing that just for the first 2 or 3 slices, until the
remainder is more "loaf" shaped, then turn it 90 degrees and slice it
the other direction.

Not in a non-stick pan it doesn't.

It is if you apply for the permit and pay the tax. It is good for
five years.

Didn't you hear? She can't pan toast/grill or griddle bread because gluten
doesn't rinse off. Sheesh. Frankly I'm surprised anyone in her family even
eats sourdough or rye bread.

You do realise that since you are in the colonies, you have to pay ME for
the permit?

No, dedicate a cheap pan to it.
