The correct way to do toast?

[Wu Wei]

Best way

Beyond that it is persona preference and my preferences is to not cut it at all.... and since that was not a choice I did not vote

#1 is ideal for a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. You can dip much more effectively with it.

I usually buy bread. Natures Own butter bread is all I will buy.

So no butter used in the making of you "Butter bread"? That seems to be false advertising to me.

Having worked as a chef I can explain.

The different cuts depend on the plating, what the toast is accompanying and how much room is on the plate.

A more chefy answer would be that #1 is used for dipping or combing with the entree such as eggs.

#2 is the cut used for most sandwiches and #3 is your all purpose cut.

I've ate out a lot in my lifetime. It was always cut diagonally regardless from toast, blt, etc..
I asked why on several occasions.
The answers were..
-it makes it look bigger
-if better for dipping
-if its hot it cools faster
-it exposes more of the inside making it look like more is inside
-corners give a good starting place

And last but not least
-it looks better

There are many reasons.

I was trained to cut for presentation though.

Toast, in more complicated dishes should show off the entree.

Here is an example of the difference it can make.

I voted for the third way

It is more perfectly symmetrical than 2

And 1 is just wrong

I'm phoning the polis

Cutting diagonally also creates the illusion of having less crust.


"If your bread is square, and if each side is 4 inches long, you have 16 inches of crust. Cut that bread down the middle, and you get 8 inches of crust-free surface. Cut that same bread diagonally, you end up with almost 11 inches of crustless surface"

Despite all facts pointing to the contrary, eating a piece of bread cut diagonally simply feels bigger than a piece of bread cut as 2 or 3.
