What's the best setting for English muffins? When I toast them on an ordinary setting, they're underdone, even if I set the dial for maximum darkness.

David, sorry I can't help you. I have not toasted an English muffin yet. The problem is we all like them toasted to a different degree. So whats good for me may not be good for you.

My toaster does not work well at all. I will not buy another one like this one. If you find one that works well, please let me know because I am replacing this one.

my name is Dale and I have the same problem. There is nothing you can do but send the toaster back, which I intend to do when I find out where to send it to. My toster is less then 3 months old.and it isnt working right

Like you, I find English muffins underdone even set at maximum darkness, so I double toast my English muffins. I generally leave the toaster set on 6 or 7, then after the muffins pop up, I toast a second time for about 30-45 seconds, pressing the cancel button to manually pop the muffins. Not ideal, but it works. Just had a perfect English muffin with butter and jam.

Sorry David, haven't done English Muffins, but for a bagel, out of the cooling part of the frig, a setting around 2 gets it to the light brown I desire. This is the Cuisinart with the rotary dial...not one of the digital toasters. Trial and error may do it for you, but sounds like you have electrical problems with the toaster. Does it do the same with toast?

You just press it down without any additional settings . But I returned my toaster because no matter what setting I used, it never actually toasted the bread.

Bright sunlight is best of course. Scatter clouds type conditions are OK, I monitor the temperature. I want to keep it around 190 degrees (slow cooker conditions) or higher. When the temperature drops below180 degrees or so, I transfer the cooking to my toaster oven. Overcast days (no shadows) will not work, hence the device name "Sun Oven". Actually, I have found the Sun Oven works great during the winter under clear skies and low humidity conditions. I really like using my oven. It cooks better than the conventional oven because you can over cook something by hours and the meat is still moist. Bright sunlight is best of course.

The placement of the rack is important when toasting, and different positions for baking or broiling for optimum results. Referring to the info leaflet will be the best for various settings. I toast both sides fine, the rack is in the lower level, temp set to 450, and toast button selected. The time is set by turning it past 20 min then back to desired time.

I have baked muffins @ 350. I don't know if they can tolerate a higher temperature. I was very happy though with the results. Hope this is helpful.

Absolutely!! The one reminder is that it toasts more on the side toward the center in the toaster, but we toast mostly English muffins and that is perfect. I have regular toast and use the 3 setting also. ALSO THE BIGGEST SELLING POINT is that this toaster DOES NOT TOSS YOUR TOASTED ITEMS ON THE FLOOR!!! Love this toaster.

Yes , I have toasted bread and English muffins. You have to put it on bottom without anything under it. Hope this helps. Watch carefully or it will burn

I just use the light bread setting and it is wonderful. Especially when you use the cinnamon bread to make French toast.

Select the operation you want (bake, broil, cookies, etc., not toast), then select desired temperature with up/down arrows, then select the amount of time with the up/down arrows and push convection button. This works for me.

Toast takes about 3-4 minutes depending upon darkness. Each time is identical. PERFECT!

It does seem slower then most other toasters but it also depends on how dark you want the toast. There is a timer that you can watch as it progresses to your desired level which helps you know how soon your toast will pop up. I love that feature!

My toaster has different toasting levels and I cut the slice bread in half and put in the toaster & push the button as if the bread was frozen on the setting of 7 & its' right @ crisp. Hope this helps - (I have a Stainless Steel Cuisinart Toaster)

Make sure you have the dial set to bake, not broil. It's difficult to see. Maybe that will fix the problem for you.

Megan: You should not have a high pitched noise when you plug it in. I would exchange it. I have the four slice version and like it very much. It does a better job of toasting than any toaster I have had before. I especially like the bagel setting and my husband like the reheat setting. We have not had a reason to use the defrost setting. The count down is especially helpful when making eggs to go with the toast, as everything is timed to be down perfectly.

You can toast Bagels, English muffins. I also do the frozen Texas Toast it's wide and it works great. Hope this helped.

cooks, toasts, broils, etc. very evenly. I suggest a crisper pan or mesh for pizza. It gets very hot, I burned a couple of things at first, pay especial attention to direction to turn on/off button past 10 before setting desired time.
