when the toaster is out of order.-- pashute, Jan 06 2022 really baked https://inkedibles....Edible+Image+Sheets [xandram, Jan 11 2022] https://www.youtube...watch?v=feICXzdIGsw [pashute, Jan 11 2022] Banh trang/rice paper https://en.wikipedi...%C3%A1nh_tr%C3%A1ng [MechE, Jan 13 2022] Fried bread-- pocmloc, Jan 07 2022 If the toaster is broken, try putting bread under the broiler or over a flame…that is toast.-- xandram, Jan 07 2022 This is Pashute's daughter writing here. I regret to inform you that he is in the hospital after trying a1's suggestion. Please pray for his speedy and full recovery.-- pashute, Jan 11 2022 Scary, I went to reply and the idea had vanished! I see it was only a name change but still!
Should have tried my suggestion instead.-- pocmloc, Jan 11 2022 ^ or my suggestions
Now that you have changed the name, it’s really baked . see link-- xandram, Jan 11 2022 No. Those are for making paper to put ON TOP of the food with edible ink. I need something to put UNDER the food instead of oil, but which I can then eat.
So pocmloc, which one of the following is your suggestion? a. Fry bread instead of toasting it. (Disadvantages: You need oil for that, and cleaning it is a hassle. Usually, oil is not very good for you) b. Use a very thin slice of fried bread under the bread you want to toast. (Hmm... interesting. But then a pre-fried sheet of edible baking paper is better: You could fold it, tear it, and get more of them in a small package. No?-- pashute, Jan 11 2022 xandram, I read somewhere that over the flame is not healthy because of the gas with a smell added to the natural gas... But maybe that was just an urban legend.
Also, sometimes I just want the bread warm (from the freezer) and the pot on the stove has a different and better effect than using the micro.-- pashute, Jan 11 2022 a (except I would use bacon fat which is much healthier than oil).
b is an interesting suggestion, like a Chateaubriand toast. Almost worth its own idea.-- pocmloc, Jan 11 2022 OK on the under or over paper.
by flame I meant a fire or a grill. I have toasted things on my open burner of my propane gas stove and it seems OK. I think the problem being that most of us don’t think of toast in a pan. Fried bread is what it would be I believe…Warm bread is not toast either.
Rice paper made with potato starch is available.-- xandram, Jan 11 2022 Fried bread needs fat though. Bread toasted on a hot dry surface is definitely a "thing", but I don't know what it is rightly called. Look up griddle cakes maybe?-- pocmloc, Jan 11 2022 Heretic-- pocmloc, Jan 11 2022 The definition of toast is: /Sliced bread browned on both sides by exposure to radiant heat./
I believe that placing a piece bread in a frying pan is conduction heat, not the same as toast really. But I read that you can put a piece of bread directly into a skillet without any oil and it will sort of become toasted in two minutes on each side. Therefore you do not need the paper.-- xandram, Jan 11 2022 Various starch papers (rice paper/bahn trang), sushi type seaweed, and various leaves (grape in particular) all fill this role to an extent.
I'll admit, I don't know if any of those are suitable for a dry heat beyond a certain level without burning or shattering.-- MechE, Jan 13 2022 //..shattering...// That could work! By the time your paper/substitute has dried enough to fall to pieces, your toast is probably done. Give the toast a quick tap as you remove it from pan/whatever, & the shatterings fall off.-- neutrinos_shadow, Jan 13 2022 But that's how this whole (I mean half) idea got started. I put the bread in an empty pot, and it got stuck.-- pashute, Jan 21 2022 random, halfbakery
