The outside is crispy and the inside is fluffy. Steam toasters that bake toast with such a texture are popular.
Good news for those who are curious, but thought that they could still use their toaster and buy a new one. Introducing the "Toast Steamer" that allows you to make your toaster steam specifications.
A product jointly developed by "Home Made Cooking", a bread and cooking class, and "Mana," a household goods maker. The price at the official Mana online shop is 1,166 yen (tax included and shipping not included).
A toast steamer that looks like a ceramic figurine that imitates bread. The size is about 36 x 46 x 97 mm.
To use it, just soak it in water for about 20 seconds, put it in a toaster, and bake it with bread. It evaporates the sucked water in the toaster and prevents the water inside the pan from flying too much.
Soak in water for 20 seconds
The wet and darker color will be restored after toasting. Do not touch it immediately as it gets hot after use.
Bread baked with a toast steamer is crispy on the outside but moist on the inside like before baking. You can feel the contrast of the texture more clearly than the one baked normally. It's like freshly baked bread.
I tried it with bread this time, but it seems that the difference will be more noticeable with baguettes and other items with low water content. I wonder if it will be less likely that it will become hard due to overheating.
If you put it in the toaster as it is when you finish using it, and then take it out and get it wet the next time you use it, you will not have to worry about the storage space. It's also easy and nice that you don't need to take care of it. It's a little hard to get on the official website because it's still out of stock, but if you like bread, check it out!
