Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp when nobody likes to eat it ?!
Answers: Very strange people if they like it !
A toaster determines the temp of the toast with a bi-metalic spring. It bends more as it heats up. When the spring makes contact where it's suppose to the toast pops up. When you move the darkness control, you change the shape of the spring a little bit.
But if you try to toast a second piece of toast the spring is already hot. Then you have the opposite situation where you are trying to get the bread to stay down.
So the problem is that the technology is chunky. For $15, they can only do so much.
I still don't get the toasters that cost over $100!

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
don't know...always wondered the same thing myself...
I don't like my toast burnt but I do like it dark.
You know, good question! They should make a toaster that makes it impossible to burn it, lol.
As the toaster gets older it needs to be turned to a darker setting to get it as dark as when it was first purchased using a lower setting.

My mom is one of the weird ones that likes it burnt. I think it is charcoal then, not toast, but hey to each their own.
Nobody? I bet some very strange people like it! Why else would they have it? Duh!!!
they probably think your strange for not liking it burnt!
I'm not sure why they have the setting, but use it quite a bit because I freeze my toast bread and muffins and take out the slices I want and pop them into the toaster. On the high setting it defrosts them first and then toasts them but it never burns it.
