    Now I know what I want for my birthday
    you can either do x4 boiled or x1 poached at the same time as the toast or on their own

    at the wekend I do x4 (soft) boiled on a mountain of spinach

    that will put hairs on your chest because your avatar looks about 12.

    this was my xmas gadget: http://www.nutribullet.com/

    does away with juicer and smoothie blender, rinses clean and lives on draining board - you can mask kale into frozen berries and ginger for brekkie mmmmm

      To be fair he likes it. Easy to use etc.
      I can see any of these being useful individually. But before you know it your worksurface is just like a display section in Currys

      I guess if I always ate egg on toast for lunch and had done for years/decades, a tool to do it would make sense.

        I look about 73 IRL. Mentally I have the age of a very immature and smutty 12 year old.

          Yep, next to the goerge foreman, coffee machine, juicer (at the weekend) and hot water maker .... I dont need anything else.

          The hob and cooker used a couple of times a year to remind me why I dont like pasta

            Whats wrong with a grill? (anyway I prefer to melt the butter onto the bread, then toast it)
            Toasters generally make better toast than a grill.
            It's all down to moisture retention; grills take too long and allow for a greater airflow which in turn dries the bread slightly as it's toasting.

              Just put the bread in a toaster, then put the toaster into the microwave. Sorted.

                  We need a control. The control would be two slices of white bread. I will leave these on a ceramic plate.

                  Then we need a number of different experiments. Toaster in microwave seems like a sensible place to start.

                  There are other configurations. Bread in microwave. Bread on foil in microwave. Bread under foil in microwave. Bread on microwavable browning tray in microwave.

                  The last configuration gives me the greatest optimism.

                  I shall post my findings.

                    OK I'm game. Throw in a consultation at a private clap clinic and you're on.

                      May I suggest you run the tests in reverse order to give yourself a fighting chance of living until the end.
                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
