Is Toasting Bread Time Consuming?

I picked up a bakery loaf when I was last in the city as it looked good for a gluten-free loaf. So, the next day I put it (thawed) into my toaster oven and waited. And waited. And waited some more. My toaster oven has a timer so I timed how long it took. At 12 minutes the outside started to brown. After more waiting, while my hollandaise was congealing, I took a peep. At 16 minutes the top was sort of starting to brown here and there. At a whopping 18 minutes it was still mostly white with tinges of brown here and there. Sick of waiting and allowing my meal to cool, I took it out. So, I re-heated my hollandaise, warmed my egg and ham and voila - finally had sort of toast for Eggs Benedict. The next day I was smarter - I started the toast at the same time as the hollandaise. I bet it would take about 22 minutes for it to brown. Seriously! :lol: If someone had half an hour for lunch at work, it would be cutting it pretty close just for toast!!

Will time Genius and my own just out of curiosity. I KNOW it would be faster than that.

I told my husband this and he doubled over laughing. It is funny in a sick way.

It works well for everything else. Udi's toasted in just a few minutes (didn't time it but not long). It's the bread!

Well, gluten free does tend to take longer, but what kind of bread was that? It must have had an incredible amount of moisture in it, surely?

I know! Isn't it strange? How much moisture can one stuff into one loaf of bread, anyway? <_<

I don't know. Look how much some butchers can stuff into a pound of hamburger meat :rolleyes:

What kind of bread? I get a millet bread with carrot in it. It's yummy. A bit sweet and dense. It takes 2 times thru the gluten-free Red Toaster and it's still not crispy. Then I put a bit of cheddar on It and broil until it melts.

Was this an electric toaster, or did you have to gather wood and build a fire under it, first ? :P

I make my own gluten free bread now and I've noticed similar - although I haven't timed it!! I stick it in twice and then the crust has gone brown but the rest hasn't. The texture changes enough to feel like toast rather than bread but still pale. Thought it was just my baking!! :)

I've just toasted bread I made on Monday and it's a beautiful golden brown! I normally just keep enough bread to do 2 days and freeze the rest but I had enough left to do two slives at lunch today. There's the trick - eat fresh first 2 days and keep to the third for perfect toast :D

This one was white rice and millet. To be honest I do not even know why I bought it as my preference is not for white rice products when I can help it. It does taste good and it looks good but I can make better. :P Most of us could!

Anyway, the dumb toast just wouldn't do anything! Stubborn stuff.

Oh, that sounds delicious! And perhaps therein lies the answer. My breads seem to toast far better but they are lighter and made with darker flours such as amaranth, sorghum, etc.

Happy Robbie Burns Day to you! :D

Ummm...that might have helped! :P

I think bread that has milk in it also toasts better than that which has water for the liquid.

The bread I've made myself with rice flours, doesn't get brown at all, on the darkest setting in a toaster oven. It's a new toaster oven, to boot! But since it gets a bit crispy and hot, and the butter melts, I say 'good enough!'. I did just buy a loaf of Rudi's cinnamon raisin and nearly burned the 2 slices I toasted, with the setting a little under the darkest. I'll have to go a bit lighter with that next time. I suspect Rudi's has more starches than mine, otherwise I'm not sure why mine doesn't really toast at all.

Thanks! Unfortunately got a wee virus so not able to celebrate it yesterday. Hopefully at the weekend I'll have a couple of drams of my favourite malt - Highland Park from Orkney- and my first taste of gluten-free haggis. :)

You made Eggs Benedict and didn't invite any of us over? :o

I have found that different breads take different toasting times but never that long! That must be some dense loaf of non-gluten! I have noticed that bakery made breads do take longer and it must be the moisture content. They are always pretty good so worth the wait. Genius doesn't take overly long but longer than some other store bought breads I have had. It's fresher bread, I think. However, my experience with toasting Genius was with an English toaster...a pop up one so it was different than my toaster oven at home.

Do you think gluten eaters have these in-depth discussions about toasters? :P

I just love the use of the word "wee" and think it ought to be incorporated much more into conversations. ;)

It IS dense and pretty good. I have had better. Hmmmm...maybe I'd better put it into the toaster oven now in time for lunch in an hour and a half. It's hilarious having to plan when to put bread in the toaster oven so you have it finished on time.

I have a feeling that gluten eaters may not have quite this in-depth discussion about toasters and bread. However, my husband asks me how long my toast took that day. He still gets a kick out of it. I have toast rarely but don't want my Eggs Benedict/hollandaise to turn the bread into mush. So, in it goes - will see if it turns brown in 90 minutes. :lol:

Toaster oven makers, listen up - we need a separate setting for our gluten-free products. Hurry it up a little so we can get to work on time and get dinner on the table! :D

Love2 honey,

Our toaster takes forever, too. :rolleyes:

But 22 minutes? :blink:

Maybe that -55 below weather you live in is causing a toaster malfunction??

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
