There is no clear way to get the toast out without using a conductive implement like a fork or your finger.
We’ve been to the Moon ffs
Edit: Woah seems Lemmy really likes this kind of casual post
Wooden chopstick(s)
Or plastic I guess, but mine are wooden
Yeah. Chopsticks are the answer.
That’s really clever. I even have a couple of pairs
Most toasters you can lift the pushy-downy-handle up a bit more than it rests at to lift the toast out.
My big problem is that (in the UK at least, don’t know about other nations) the standard sized bread doesn’t fit fully in a toaster, so the top ~3cm is still bread.
Haha this is hilarious. I occasionally try to toast differently shaped bread, but sliced bread is very consistently shaped so never a problem.
Do other countries do bread differently ? Is this just another example of American cultural imperialism? “No baguettes for you!”
We have… I’m more impressed that you found a toaster that doesn’t. I don’t think I’ve had a toaster in the last ten years that didn’t give a little bit of leeway on the lever to let you pull up a little bit more to be able to grab it.
That bandle that you push down? Push it UP instead. This is a solved problem.
Not on this toaster
There is absolutely a Technology Connections about this.
When my toast gets stuck like that, I just pour my beans directly into the toaster and eat it all like cereal
Tell your servant to reach in and pull out the toast.
Those lazy bastards! You’re right, mine managed to trick me into thinking I must pull it out myself… No supper tonight!
Rapidly push the lever up to eject your toast and grab it midair. Works 95% of the time
Fill it with oil*, now you’ve got a deep fryer!

Please don’t.
WOAH. I don’t think I could afford that unfortunately
Get better bread.
No
the walmart store brand sliced bread has been made so cheap now, there’s no ‘substance’. it can’t stand up in a toaster without literally “wilting”. so it will toast crooked and then not pop up because it gets stuck. i have an old toaster, probably from the 1980s. not for ‘bagels’ either, just a normal narrow-slot toaster. it has no safety cut-off on it… i dunno if that’s even a thing… but it will not shut off the heating elements when it gets stuck and can’t “pop up”. the whole thing is a fire hazard.
Toaster oven. Solves this problem entirely.
Like the clamshell thing? Those are good but it’s too much hastle
Not a clamshell thing. A little oven with a door on the front that opens downward. Some of them also have air fryer capability. I’ve got a Ninja Flip and I’m quite happy with it. One nice feature about it is that you can stand it up on its back when not in use in order to save counter space. I threw away my regular-old bread toaster when I got it. And of course it’s great for pizzas or melting cheese on your toast or air frying tater tots or just using like you would an oven to roast or what have you.
Interesting, looks quite nifty indeed. There are so many obscure kitchen appliances that I didn’t know existed
Where are you from where a toaster oven is obscure?
Eastern Europe…
I think your toaster might be broken… The pieces are supposed to rise half way up after it’s done toasting
Nah, I’m just using a non-standard bread size
Kinda seems like you answered your own question.
The solution is bigger bread.
Nah man shut up I’m saving the environent
I doubt that toaster is powered by renewables…
The solution is almost as old as the device itself: thin wooden tongs.
The problem is that you’re trying to use a fork or your finger. Bread goes into the toaster. You’re obviously supposed to fish it out with a bread knife.

It’s the “bread goes into the toaster” part.
I sinceriousely thought you were gonna tell me that the bread goes in the square hole.
I struggle to express my surprise and delight from the video you sent, though.
