Method of toasting bread-type food products

摘要

A method of surface toasting a bread-type food product, comprising the steps of:
providing a toasting apparatus having a fixed heated platen (40) and a movable platen (44);
depositing a product between the platens while in spaced condition;
moving the movable platen (44) toward the fixed platen (40) to bias the product against the fixed platen and surface toast the product;
backing the movable paten (44) away from the fixed platen (40) an amount sufficient for the product to expand but not completely release the product from the fixed platen; and
moving the movable platen (44) completely away from the fixed paten (40) to completely release the product from the fixed platen.
