Question

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Answer 1

My wife makes toast and hot dogs in the toaster oven. She likes them both burned to a horrible crisp. Sometimes she'll run either of them again, for a second cycle. I am not making this up.

Answer 2

Some people love burnt toast. I personally do not, but I know many people who do. Typically that setting is for stuff that takes longer to get crispy.
