Top tip: the next time you have a salad, empty the crumb tray from your toaster over it to provide instant croutons. It'll make the salad disgusting and give you an excuse to order a curry instead.
D I S G U S T A N G!
I see the logic there. Let’s not forget it keeps the toaster clean.
Is that from the Viz?
@@chaosnexxus9255 Man I loved Viz top tips back in the day. They probably inspired me

I think Limmy knows more than enough about levers that burn things.
This was brilliant 🤗

I paid a lot of money for my toaster which has a dial that goes up to 10. I never use higher than 4 but it's nice to know it's there if I need it

Our toaster goes up to 9. I dialed my safe combination and it burnt up all my savings
mine goes up to 11

I have alredy seen the Tom scott's video about the numbers on a toaster, I feel like I know something that I shouldn't be able to understand, Tom Scott truely is the one that's up there and down here with us, he his the one and only true god of knowledge.
And he is very humble with it.
The toaster was invented by a grandmaster wheatmason called Hovis McBurnie in 1816. His invention to cook bread twice earned him alot of dough.
Don't you know Wheatmasons worship Yeastifer!
I can imagine Dee Dee having these thoughts.
Limmy was Dee Dee.
This changed my life. Thanks Limmy.
I wish we could go back whence we came
Tis' a dead end traveler.
Anti natilism has entered the chat*
I wish Corona would go back whence it came, or make a pitiful jump into the flames
We went the wrong way down a one way street
I love how I’ve asked the exact same questions and yet still can’t be bothered to find out. Ignorance is bliss
the dial controls how much electricity goes through this switch. A lower number on the dial equates to a higher current, more heat running through the circuit, which triggers the off switch more quickly, and results in less toasted bread.
Watched this the other night on the tv and ive come to the same conclusion as I did when i saw it 1st time.Limmy,man you're deep 😂😂😂
The dials on the toaster is actually show you the energy difference the bimetal is going to need to get set off.
Is that true? Could be.
If you first do 5, then turn it down to 1 and leave the bread in for a while, it doesn't change color anymore but it gets crunchier (not in a good way). I hope that helps a little.
Toaster & Bread companies are like that mate 🤞
It's aw designed tae get yer money via burnt toast. FACT.
Very important life questions. I have also been searching for these answers. One day we will live in understanding with our toasters.
if you keep it on 5, wait till it gets to 3, then turn it to 1, it never stops, your bread gets burnt af and you nearly break your toaster. i accidentally did this once and that was what happened to mine
It's scary how precise and accurate this shared human experience is... I feel as if Limmy invaded my mind for no purpose other than to access every thought I've ever had about toasters.
"THE NUMBER'S LIMMY, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?"
Genius pure and simple.
You and the people who work with you are comedic geniuses
Truly wonderful
you ask the tough questions Limmy. I admire that.
The numbers, Mason! What do they mean!?
Oh my God this was amazing to listen to!
"Hi. Do you have any books about toast?" "Hi, do you have any toasters using the Dewey Decimal system?"
I've never felt such a shared mental connection with a TH-camr as I did in this video!!!
“THE NUMBERS MASON WHAT DO THEY MEAN”
I'm still trying to figure out which side of the butter knife to use to butter the toast. If it never was meant to also cut something, then what's with the sharper side? Those ripples. I've been buttering my toast with the dull side for almost 15 years and have used the sharper side to cut things. Until I got laughed at for it. I got laughed at for cutting something up with a butter knife and not solely using it to butter. But what's the effing point in having different sides then?! I've been buttering for 15 years with the dull side with no issues. And one's clearly sharper than the other side. It's meant to cut through something!
Right?!
Yes, toast
I almost have no idea what you're talking about... You cut butter with the sharp "side", and you spread with the actual side of the knife.
If you want to cut something other than butter, I'd recommend a real knife, but carry on with what you're doing if it works for you.
I know this is from 9 months ago, but I know why there is a serrated edge(technical name). It's for cutting butter. Nowadays butter comes in tubs and is generally spreadable from the fridge. You used to buy it in blocks, keep it in the fridge and use the serrated edge of the butter knife to cut chunks off.
Toaster 1-5 has been a burning question for me all this week!
One word!! GRILL ‘
1 is bread slightly warmed... 5 is burnt... everything in between is a spectrum. Like life.
That's top notch limmy
Great for Sunday morn quarantine
No news just limmy and a cup of Joe
Great stuff profound even 😂
I think this was your best work yet
Normal people : Glasgow
Limmy : *GLAEEESGAAA*
Best show in the UK!
the numbers on the wee dial of a toaster indicate the level of toastyness obviously.
i started smiling as soon as you said glasgaa
Really makes you think
Who’s here because they clicked on the video???
i think i am
Naw
Aye me hahaha fancy that
I put my toaster on to 5, then turned it down to 1 half way through, and this popped up on my screen. ....or did it? That might have been what happened, or, this might be a dream and this video isn't even on TH-cam. I'm not sure of anything at this point.
Thought I was the only one.
It's funny, I was asking myself the exact same thing the other day as I was making toast.
Welcome to Glezguh!
Yes the toaster lets you change your mind.
LOVE LIMMY - FROM USA
The number of the toaster is how many times you will have to put in a new piece of bread because the last one got burnt.
These are important questions.
wee to think about
The number on the dail stands for minutes and whatever the dail is set on when you put the toast down is what it will be and if you change it, it doesn't register and will cook it on whatever the dail was set on when it started.
Minutes? You think it takes six minutes to toast a slice of bread?
Benny Harvey RIP big man
Your the best from day 1...from vancouver bc...just outside ....yoker ..deedee.
What do the numbers mean mason! What do they mean!?!
Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy and Limmy.
So cute
Tom Scott answered the toaster question
Imagine doing beans with Limmy...
Imagine doing beans with Dee Dee...

@@prunehead miss you big man RIP
this is sooooooo stupid hahah love it
It's funny because Tom Scott did a video on this very question 😂
Genius.
The toaster dial works like the old phones ye have to dial in the exact minutes and seconds you want the bread to be in for.
You would make a great product tester 😋
Of course there’s someone out there who knows the answers to all of these toaster based questions. A toaster designer.
Will they ever watch this video though?
Honestly I panic about the toaster a lot as is, so this was reassuring(?)

Miss ya big man
not gone but forgotten
RIP you miss big man
I AM CRYING
Sometimes I wonder what happened to Benny Harvey. Rest in peace man
*_Heer in Glæsga_*
They're not minutes...they're checkpoints in a way.
I forgot how he got to the toaster talk
I bet Big Clive knows what the numbers mean
I don't even have what your on about on my toaster so I'm even more confused
The Mitchell library contains the answer to the most puzzling question of all: What's heavier, a kilogramme of steel or a kilogramme of feathers?
Don't even get me started on a microwave.
“You can’t pause toast”
My toaster is for 4 slices with two levers, but you have to pull the left lever before the right lever. Never understood the point of that, surely it was more effort and research and development to make that the way that the toaster is than to just leave it.
This just drugged me out
Can someone please tell me the name of the track playing in the background?
Great tune!
I toast ma bread until it's cremated..I LOVE burnt toast ❤️❤️❤️
No No No the dial is for the thickness of the bread, I ( melba toast) 5 ( Doorstep ) easy peasy.
Will we ever know if lead truly weighs more than feathers? One of those unanswerable questions.
My toaster goes to 6, is the world going to end?
Why not just go up to 5, but make 5 hotter?
, the dial controls how much electricity goes through this switch. A lower number on the dial equates to a higher current, more heat running through the circuit, which triggers the off switch more quickly, and results in less toasted bread
Tom Scott did a video on this
I always laugh when someone makes a second round of toast, ignoring the fact that the toaster is preheated now and will make the bread toast a bit more.
Alan Angel yeah me too, has me in stitches mate I can’t get over it, I even shoot coffee out of my nose at the same time
I always laugh when someone has a second cup of tea, ignoring the fact that the kettle is preheated now and will make their tea a bit hotter. Cos that's how that works.
@@blackmichael75 One runs off a thermostat, the other runs off a timer.
@@SheriffWhipple I laughed as well but my nostrils were dry. 👍
Some men just wanna watch the toast *burn*
Scientists tried this with 100 toasters in Australia recently
I will conduct an experiment with the toaster numbers and get back to you
I'm going crazy here.
This is basically a TH-cam video on television
how can they build a road, a bridge and then a bigger bloody motorway yards away from such a historic building
dose the dial tick? or could it just be heat intensity?
anyway if the dial makes ticking sounds and moves its definitely a timer. if it has numbers it probably dose not corrisponde to minutes but just stages of cooked toast. like how at restaurants they ask you how much cooked you want your meat to be.
they dont ask you the time they just say things like, well cooked or rare eccc.
anyway i never had a toaster so i don't really know.
the dial actually corresponds to how hot the toaster gets before it shuts the circuit off and pops your toast up. If you turned it in the middle of toasting that would change it because the dial directly controls the resistance and thus how long it takes the capacitor to charge. I'm not sure what the numbers actually correspond to I'm pretty sure they don't actually correspond to anything specifically and it's just a way to better communicate each setting. 1 is the lowest, 3 is the middle, 2 is between 1 and 3, etc.
The words "resistance" and "capacitor" are in your statement, therefore you are right.
And "circuit"
This is basically the mind of a (good) software tester
Two twos equal a four. An a halfway 4 equals a 2. 1/5 of a 5 gets you a 1 with 3 1s and a 2 giving you a burnt 5
what
Exactly

"I dun get it..."
The Type of Toasters
Timer Toasters
If you invested in a $300 toaster, like Dualit, you'll at least have the piece of mind knowing that those numbers on your appliance actually refer to minutes. A mechanical timer is what controls the browning time in toasters like these.
Capacitor Toasters
Most modern toasters use a circuit as a timer. A capacitor is charged and once a specific voltage is reached, the circuit cuts off and your toast pops out the top of the toaster, according to How Stuff Works. In this toaster, the dial changes the resistance, which changes the rate at which the capacitor charges, and this controls how long the timer is set.
Bimetallic Strip Toasters
Older toasters have yet a different toasting method. These models use a bimetallic strip which bends as it heats up. (A bimetallic strip is made up of two types of metal which expand at different rates, which causes the strip to bend when heated.) Pushing the toast lever down connects and starts a circuit. As heat begins to build up in the circuit, the bimetallic strip of metal will start to bend until it no longer connects the circuit, which cuts off the power and pops your toast out.
In this toaster, the dial controls how much electricity goes through this switch. A lower number on the dial equates to a higher current, more heat running through the circuit, which triggers the off switch more quickly, and results in less toasted bread, according to CNET.
