Toasting browns food lightly using dry heat, great for bread and nuts. Use a toaster or a dry cast iron skillet for even toasting.
• Non-Stick Skillet
• Toaster Oven
• Place the skillet on the stove over medium heat and allow it to warm up for a minute.
• For bread or nuts, no oil is needed; for items like tortillas, a light brushing of oil can help with browning.
• Add the item to the skillet in a single layer. For bread, press lightly with a spatula for even toasting.
• Flip the item occasionally to ensure both sides are evenly toasted.
• For nuts or seeds, stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure an even color.
• Remove the item as soon as it reaches the desired level of toastiness.
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container if not consuming right away.
• Step 1: Allow the skillet to cool completely before washing.
• Step 2: Wipe the skillet with a dry paper towel to remove crumbs or residues.
• Step 3: Wash with warm water and a soft sponge using a mild dish soap. Avoid abrasives to protect the non-stick coating.
• Step 4: Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
