Commentaires : | A toast rack is used for holding slices of toasted bread. It often has a central ring handle for passing around the table. The earliest toast racks date back to the 1770's and are traditionally English. It is thought that by maintaining air gaps between the slices, the toast rack allows steam to escape from hot toast instead of condensing into adjacent slices and making them soggy. This can also mean that the toast becomes cold more quickly. The toast was then buttered when cold, thus using less butter. |
