Why my toaster has a setting that goes to 6 when the 3 setting serves up a slice of charcoal?

Because sometimes you just need to kill it with fire.

Seriously, though, I don't even know how high the settings go on my toaster, but 1 toasts a slice of bread about as much as it needs to be toasted IMO and 2 will usually suffice for anything frozen.

What's odd is that there's someone at work who regularly uses the toaster in our employee lounge in the morning to make regular old toast, as do I. Usually I go second and if I don't turn the dial at least halfway back towards 0 from where the other person sets it, what comes out is burnt to a crisp. It's hard to imagine anyone actually turning it up twice as far on purpose and then eating what comes out.

You guys don't know anything do you?

Settings 3-6 are for the UNtoasting procedure.

This is Amurrika, buster. We don't want any of that commie pinko "one world, one gubmint" UN toast around these parts.

Well, it could be worse:

But don't despair Madam, for i have the solution:

The toaster still has 6 settings:
3-6 are the deep-fried settings.

How do you drain the grease, or do I even want to know?

If the toast comes out smoking a little that means it's done. Generally speaking, the best toast is toast that is scorched to somewhere between "Yummy" and "Smoldering". As long as it's not burnt all the way to the middle it's fine. And a healthy-sized blob of margarine takes some of the edge off that pronounced charcoal taste.

However, I will never, ever do such a thing to crumpets or english muffins. Due to their delicate nature they require a more refined toasting than ordinary bread. Yes, I am snobbish like that.

Work has a conveyor belt toaster, there are two settings, speed of the conveyor belt and the heat of the elements. In reality though there are three settings.

Setting one:

Setting two:

Setting three:
