which way to turn bagels in toaster?

The heating elements are evenly placed on both sides of each slot, so the direction of the bagel should not make a difference. Since bagels are thicker and take longer than regular bread to toast, when selecting the bagel feature, the toaster will adjust the toasting time to compensate.

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.

yes but it toasts the inside more than the outside, that is what the bagel option is for. Regular toast works fine. We are quite pleased with this unit.

Bagel function toasts only One(1)side of the bagel - presumably you will toast the inside - cut part. This is the left hand side as labeled. I measured the slots - they weren't measurably wider. Me? I never use it. I like both sides toasted.

The toaster has a very deep capacity, a 4 1/4 deep well for large slices of bread. I also use it for large size (1 inch thick) bagels cut in half length-wise, with plenty of space for toasting. The settings allow you to toast from almost no cooking to extremely burnt, if that's what you like. Very good toaster.

David, when you press the bagel button the inside elements do most of the work and toast the cut faces of the bagel. My wife says dial setting just slightly greater than 3 works well. If you toast English muffins you'll have to use dial setting 4.The non-bagel side (right) is slower and the unit we just purchased will start to heavily brown toast at dial setting slightly higher than 2. Settings may vary for different units and will need to be adjusted upward as the toaster ages. Keep the crumb tray and the inside of the unit clean for consistent results.

Sorry, I only use it for toast. I had trouble finding a good toaster, and this is great. I had to read the instructions, I don't use the bagel setting, it toasts fine on the toast settings, but the dials tend to move, so I always check them. So check your settings, top and bottom should come on for toast.

Sorry, but I have not tried to toast bagels yet. My family are not really into bagels mostly toast, waffles, and pop tarts

It's not easy. You have to place the bread on the rack placed in the middle of the oven. Then set the top dial at the highest setting, the middle dial to the top element setting (lower left), and the bottom dial to somewhere between the light and dark settings just before the 10 minute mark. However, you should understand that this just toasts the top side, you have to repeat the process after turning the toast, to do the other side. Even when your done, the toast is nowhere as good as an old fashion two sided slice toaster.

This toaster will toast one side of the bagel but to my knowledge this is not indicated on the toaster itself. I cannot check this info as I bought the toaster for my son in Atlanta and I am now on my way home to Wells, England, It,s going to be cold but so nice to be home. The toaster worked great whilst we stayed with our son and he,s delighted because it works and it was free!.

The slot openings have a small ledge inside at both ends. The distance between the ledges is about 5 3/4 inches. Since we sometimes make toast using long slices of rye bread and such, we usually put the slices in long side up for toasting. Otherwise bagels, regular bread slices, English muffins, etc fit the slots and turn out scrumptious. Hope this helps.

I am not sure what the BAGEL function does. It does NOT toast on one side, only. You still need to turn the "doneness" setting down when you toast a bagel because the bigger bagel toasts quicker. I tried toasting a bagel on the toast setting with the BAGEL function on and it burned up on both sides!

The bagel setting is designed to toast only the cut side of the bagel. I myself like the whole thing toasted(not very NYC)so rarely use it.

Before I put the bagel in the cutter, I do press it down to flatten it a bit. Sometimes the top will stick out, I will just line up the cutter edge and press down.
