	Home Cooking - Helpful Hints and Tips - Review - A Toast to Toast
		There are various ways of making toast, from holding the bread close to an open fire using a device called a “toasting fork”, under the grill or using a special piece of equipment, known as an electric “Toaster”.
		This ingenious device was developed from Albert Marsh’s 1905 patent for the chromium-nickel alloy wire that gives the correct resistance for use in electric toasters and culminated in Charles Strite’s patent for the first pop-up toaster as made by Waters Genter of Minneapolis (the Toastmaster Model 1-A-1).
		Although Cha rles Strite developed the pop-up toaster as a commercial model as long ago as 1921, no manufacturer has yet designed a toaster that successfully and consistently produces toast without it being closely watched by the user.

		The explorers gradually forgot what toast was really supposed to taste like, and eventually decided that toast was an altogether unpleasant and generally rank thing to eat.
		It is therefore not surprising that it rapidly fell out of favor and was forgotten for four hundred years, until the toaster’s eventual re-invention in 1909 by Charles Strite.
		So the next time you sit down to relax with a nice hot slice of that heavenly breakfast treat, take a moment to pause and say, “Thanks, Gérard Depardieu.”
