If you go buy a high end toaster (yes, there is such a thing - they can cost hundreds of dollars) - they will instruct you in the proper method of making toast. You are to first run a "wam up" cycle of the toaster on the high heat setting. You are then supposed to dial the heat down to your preferred toasted-bread setting and proceed to make toast. This insures even crispness and toasting since the toaster is not heating up at the same time as toasting your bread. (Toasting by the way is the breakdown of complex bread starches into simple sugars which then caramelize - hence the slightly sweet taste of un-buttered toast). I suppose if you're willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a toaster you probably have the free time to do this.
