English muffins may need a darker setting than regular bread to achieve the same color. • To toast frozen pastry or waffles, select a light color and toast directly on oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or frosting, use baking pan to prevent dripping. • When toasting, condensation may form on oven door. A conventional toaster is open and allows moisture to escape. A toaster oven is a closed space and so moisture is slow to escape. • At the end of the toast cycle, remove toast immediately or the heat remaining in the toaster oven will continue to toast and dry out your toast. 5
