[One of my extra slices of toast for the line eater.]

I've had the gimmes for a microwave for awhile, so, tonight I went
shopping.  Only, instead of a microwave, I got a GE Omni, which is a
combination small microwave, broiler, baker, microwave&baker, toaster.
Sooooo cuuuuute, I couldn't resist.  I've tried microwaving coffee
(okay) and making toast.  It takes 4 minutes to produce a piece of toast
that's VERY dry, not brown, warm but not warm enough to melt
butter when set for 1 slice of medium toast.  So, I tried the
microwave&bake combo and after 2 minutes got about the same thing.
It isn't a patch on a real toaster.  Is this what a toaster oven
normally does to toast?  Or, is this thing broke?  (At least they have
a 60 day exchange policy if it's a Mistake.)  I seem to recall someone
asking recently about dehydraders  --  have I got a pointer for you.....

I've had a GE toaster oven for 6 years now; it works like a champ!
It's a little slower than a toaster, but not much, and it toasts
pretty well.  It sometimes leaves lines on the bottom side of the
toast, but I like it nonetheless.  It works well enough that I
haven't considered looking for a toaster.
