You must all watch it, it is amusing.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Already seen. :D

[Psychosplodge]

Funny, but I've never encountered any problems removing toast with cutlery...

[eldargal]

Only the finest plastic cutlery in the Splodge household.:p

[Psychosplodge]

No it's only live when the switch is depressed, as soon as it's popped you can dig it out with what you want...
That's how you get crumpets out of a toaster...

i understand the trouble of toasting crumpets only too well! they really need to make a special Crumpet toasting device for us Brits!

[Psychosplodge]

I ususally find a knife poked half way into the crumpet once the timers popped works well

that is it I am finding a fork and designating it the Crumpet Retrieval Fork.

[eldargal]

I thought crumpets are made in frying pans, wouldn't the toaster get all gunked up?

[Psychosplodge]

Knife works better, As it's straight, so doesn't snag on the side/element/cage. The internal friction of a crumpet will give you a few seconds to jab extract and drop to plate.


Made? dunno, i'm talking about toasting supermarket bought pre-packed things.

Reckon I can make my own.

Love a bit of crumpet, spesh with Marmite, the food of the gods.

[Deadlift]

Crumpets with scrambled eggs and a touch of chilli powder, breakfast of champions :)

[Denzark]

Back in my days in Northern Ireland, the 'Breakfast of Champions' after fruity night-shift, was a microwave cheeseburger and a bottle of Stella! I had this watching the 2003 World Cup final - truly Champion.

[Wildeybeast]

Why would you want to put cutlery in the toaster while it's still on? I don't understand what you would be trying to accomplish with that little gem of idiocy.

[Mr Mystery]

Suicide. Duh!

[Wildeybeast]

I see.

I am often told my breakfast pork pie is the breakfast of champions.

No, you wait for the crumpet to finish toasting, ie pop up. Then you insert fork. Most crumpets are smaller than toasters are deep so they still bob around inside hence the need the retrieve using a fork. Still a bit daft. My method is to pick up the toaster and turn it upside down and let then fall onto a plate.

Trust me try using a knife.
Also turning a toaster upside down? Crumbs...

Surely some crumpet, bringing you breakfast is the breakfast of champions?

[Deadlift]

No you get around the crumbs by having a pre-toasting upside down shake of the toaster :)

If you want to get proper old fashioned a grill is good.

As for the other type of "crumpet" bringing you breakfast, well yes your right even if mines getting a bit stale now :p

[Psychosplodge]

The problem with the grill is they don't do those ovens with an eye level grill any more...

Mines faulty, it expects me to bring it coffee...

[Wolfshade]

You can have mine, eye level grills are irritating especially as my eye level on the grill are two very different things, means I have to duck and stoop to get to the rear rings of my hob...:mad:

[Psychosplodge]

Well it is based on the average height of a 50's housewife.

Which was fine for me when I was about eight...
I'm happier stooping than actually bending to check the other grill, plus we aren't allowed one since my brother nearly burnt the kitchen down with the old one....

[Wolfshade]

I want to replace mine with a range

[Psychosplodge]

A range of what?

Is that like an AGA type thing?

[Wolfshade]

Something like this: http://www.rangecookers.co.uk/rangemaster-elite-se-110-product,629.aspx

[Psychosplodge]

Oh one of those. Yeah I'd love one, first a kitchen, then a big cooker!

[Wolfshade]

If I take my pantry out and move some bits around, noticably put my dog crates into the utility room, I can fit one of those bad boys in.
I just can't afford it at the moment, and I don't really think I want it for the house I currently have, I want to move first

[Godless Zealot]

Neat Video. Reminds me of an article I saw in one of the papers recently regarding dumb deaths or the 'Darwin Awards' I believe they are called.

[Psychosplodge]

Darwin awards are funny, unless you win one...
