TOASTING TIPS
The Wolf Gourmet Toaster makes it
possible to perfectly toast everything from
thick slices of artisan bread to bagels,
English mufns 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 colour on the
3–5 setting. The same type of bread
that has been refrigerated may require
a darker setting to reach a medium
colour.
• 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 brownness.
• 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.
When toasting a single slice, you may
notice variations in bread colour from
side to side.
• 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.
