My neighbor gave me a weird tip about toasting bread
Old guy next door saw me burning toast on Monday. He comes over and says "try putting it in the toaster twice on low instead of once on high." I did it and honestly the texture was perfect. Now I'm stuck wondering if I should keep doing his method or go back to normal. Anyone else have a random neighbor trick that actually worked?

My dad had this exact thing with grilling steaks. He flipped them every 30 seconds instead of leaving them alone and everyone said he was crazy. Turns out the science backs it up for more even cooking. I think old timers just have these weird little tricks from decades of trial and error that cookbooks never mention. Your toast thing is part of a bigger pattern where slow and steady beats the fast method every time.

The double toasting trick is solid. @leep89 nailed it with the steak comparison, same principle applies to a lot of cooking. I've done that with frozen waffles for years, keeps them from getting rock hard on the edges.
