How long do we cook the non-buttered side of the toast?

Cooking the non-buttered side of the toast for 60 seconds is essential for achieving the perfect texture and flavor. During this time, the heat helps to achieve a golden-brown color and a crispy exterior while ensuring that the bread is warmed through.

This duration allows for the Maillard reaction, which is responsible for the browning and developing of complex flavors in the toast. Cooking it for the recommended 60 seconds strikes a balance, ensuring that the toast is not undercooked, which would lead to a chewy texture, or overcooked, which could result in burnt bread. Proper timing is crucial in food preparation to maintain quality, and this step is no exception when preparing toast at Raising Cane's.
