Toasters are a kitchen staple that you probably think can't do much more than toast bread. I hate to inform you that you're wrong. For safety reasons nothing but toaster-safe items such as bread, bagels, English muffins, and frozen waffles should be placed in your toaster. Kitchen appliances can either be a lazy chef's best friend (microwave), or their worst enemy.
They can either simplify your life by helping
you cook your meals faster and easier, or they can make things more
complicated. Your toaster is here to make meal preparation easier. While you
might think of your toaster as one of those appliances that doesn't do more
than one thing, toasters can do more than just brown your bread and burn your
bagel.
Toaster Bags (Toaster Sleeves) can be safely used in the toaster, Toaster
Bags are a no-mess way of cooking things with cheese, vegetables, and meats in
your toaster without dripping food everywhere or without catching your kitchen
on fire. It's time you start putting your toaster to good use. Here are several
things you might be unaware your toaster can make:
1. Do It
Yourself (DIY) Tortilla Chips-No tortilla chips, but plenty of corn or flour
tortillas? Toast up a few pieces on high. Your soft shells have become crisp
chips, and you never had to go to the store. Now you can stop eating your
guacamole with a spoon. All you need is your Toaster Bag and your toaster.
2.
Garlic Bread-Did you know you can
make crispy, crunchy garlic bread in the toaster? Take a slice of Italian
bread, smother it with olive oil or butter, sprinkle it with garlic powder or
spread it with minced garlic, and add a little cheese on top for a single
serving of hot, fresh garlic bread. Just don't try this without a Toaster Bag to help keep it from dripping into your toaster.
3.
Grilled Cheese
Sandwich-American, cheddar,
mozzarella: pick your favorite cheese,
and get your toaster because your choices are endless. You can even add a slice
of tomato or some deli meat. Just assemble your preferred grilled cheese, slide
it in a Toaster Bag, put it in the toaster, and a few minutes later, you've
got a gooey, hot sandwich, no clean up or butter required.
4. Leftover
French Fries and Onion Rings-If you have leftover fries or onion rings, you can
bring them back to life by reheating them in the toaster. They won't be the
mushy mess you're used to, and they'll reclaim their crispness and make you
just as happy as they did the first time around. Just use your Toaster Bag and
your toaster.
5. Panini’s-With your bread of choice,
vegetables, meats, sauces, and cheeses, you can have a full blown artisan
sandwich even if you don't have a Panini press. Just throw it all together, pop
it in the Toaster Bag, push the toaster down, and try
not to salivate over the smell of your lunch cooking.
6. Reheated
Pizza-Cold pizza is
amazing. When you want your leftovers to be as gooey and cheesy as they were
when you first ordered them, avoid the microwave at all costs. Instead, turn
your toaster (and a Toaster Bag) into a brick oven. I promise
it's better than the soggy, chewy slice you'll get from the microwave. All you
need is your Toaster Bag and your toaster.
7.
Veggie Burgers-For a crispy veggie
burger, forget the microwave, because the toaster is the way to go. Unlike beef
or other meat patties, veggie burgers don't run the risk of dripping fat into
your toaster and setting your whole place on fire. They cook quickly and
evenly, and leave little mess behind. Just make sure to clean out your
toaster's tray after cooking, as you should with anything you make in the
toaster. Your toaster and Toaster Bag
make this so easy.

a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp no one would eat?” (Peter Kay)[i]
