The settings are for frozen items. What setting do you use for unfrozen bread??

I set the toaster on "4" for a perfectly medium crispy slice of 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.

If the bread is at room temp or taken out from frig (not frozen), you simply press down the lever. You do not select any buttons. The toaster will turn on as soon as you push the lever down. You only have to adjust the round knob for temperature setting.

You can freeze anything with this. I can't see why you could not freeze bread.

I slice the loaf and then freeze half of it. The other half goes into a relatively air-tight plastic or glass container on the counter since it will be used within a few days. Hope this helps!

I froze some batter before it was baked and I couldn't tell the difference between that and the normal process. I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but this was pretty easy. You make the batter the normal way and scoop out individual biscuits on a non-stick sheet and then put this into the freezer until they are firm enough not to stick together when you put them into a plastic bag. In general, baked products do pretty well when frozen.

Idon't much bread either and have found the freezer works best. Take it out 30 minutes before use. Also I prefer the sourdough has more of a bread feel to mouth.

Personally I recommend defrosted because it cooks faster and the plates can keep it in place but it also depends on if you are using the full grill...if full grill then yes frozen is fine...if press grill defrosted works best

Lowest in Oven setting is 150 degrees. It has a Defrost setting and a Dehydrate setting, but it doesn't reveal at what temp that is when running.

Yes, freezing is probably the best way to maintain their products. They come double bagged too. Occasionally I've had problems separating slices of the frozen multigrain bread but none with the sourdough or white bread. All are great toasted!

I just put frozen bread in at 5 but have to push down once. Don't make sandwiches. Still make a grilled cheese the old fashioned way

You put the outside of the bagel facing outward. The inside faces each other. If I buy lots of fresh bagels from someplace like panera, I place them in a large freezer baggie. I can take one out at a time just for me, place frozen in toaster. Press frozen and bagel at the same time, set the dial at 5 or 6, then start toasting. Works great. Hope this helped.

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)

I cut down on sugar considerably in my recipe. To keep it from freezing solid I use a product called Cremodan, available here on Amazon. It's a mix of gums and other stabilizers, and you only need a little in each batch. My froyo still freezes very firm (my recipe is also very low fat), but it's not fully solid so I can still scoop off the top with a good scoop.

People braver than me have experimented with & succeeded in using ziplock (thin plastic) type bags on the vacuum sealers, but one such person said he wouldn't do it on a new machine, suggested getting one cheap from a garage sale, Goodwill, etc. Do a YouTube search on the topic to get more specific details. The quality of any sandwich is going to suffer after being frozen. Good quality bread freezes well. Any ingredients with a high water content that's in the sandwiches may ooze water when defrosted & cause the bread to be mushy.

I did not try it with my bread machine ! I just followed the box instructions which were easy - it turned out nice every time! After it cooled I sliced the entire loaf with an electric knife and then froze two slices each in sandwich bags for easy removal and thawing! Good Luck! �

I have always had disastrous luck using the whole wheat setting on this machine. I always make whole wheat bread but I use the basic white bread setting. It works great.

To maintain the proper temperature setting in your freezer you need a freezer thermometer. They are cheap and available in almost any kitchenware department. You can then choose whatever freezer setting that keeps the already frozen food at 0 degrees. If you are freezing any quantity of food you should bring your freezer temp to at least -10 degrees. Once your food is completely frozen you can reduce your setting to maintain the 0 degree temperature. Check your thermometer and set your freezer temperature setting accordingly. The fuller your freezer, the better it will hold the temperature and run more economically.

Pretty simple, actually. Just lay whatever frozen (unpackaged) items you want to thaw on the tray and wait.
