Why nobody tells you about the 3 second rule for toaster ovens

I always burned toast until I realized if I set it for 3 seconds LESS than the manual says, the toast comes out perfect every time, so overthinking timer settings was the real problem.

Wait are you saying the manual is intentionally wrong? I always just guessed on the timer and figured I had bad luck with toasters.

Yep, I've seen multiple toaster manuals say 3 minutes when 2:15 gets perfect toast on most models. It's basically a built-in buffer to stop people complaining about burnt bread.
