In most cases, we use a toaster to toast slices of bread, which then become the basis for sandwiches.
However, this device, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , is also perfect for performing other culinary tasks.
You can use a toaster if you want to fry sweet potatoes, eggplants, zucchini, potatoes, and even hard bananas.
The main condition is that the thickness of the products should be approximately five millimeters. This size is optimal, as it prevents the vegetables from burning or, conversely, from remaining raw.
Before placing the future side dish in the toaster, you should grease the food on both sides with oil and season with a little salt.
By the way, this is not the only “device” in the kitchen that can be used for other purposes.
Take, for example, an egg slicer – it can effectively perform not only its direct duties, but also chop other products.
Try this device if you need to cut strawberries, kiwi, avocado, mushrooms, apples or thin-skinned tomatoes.
Any perfectionist will be pleased with the result, as the pieces will be even and beautiful – just like in the best restaurant.
