Did people toast bread in pre-industrial times?

Updated: 9/27/2023

How practical was it to toast bread before pre-sliced bread was available? One assumes that toast predates the toaster oven, but how old is it?

The practice of toasting bread became popular in the Roman Empire. The word “toast” actually comes from the Latin “tostum,” which means “to burn or scorch.” The first breads were likely toasted by laying them in front of the fire on a hot stone.

Do all toasters toast toast?

Electricity heats up wires in the toaster, you put bread in, push the lever down and the bread is pressed against the wire. The high temperature of the wires toast the bread and when a specified length of time is up the toast pops up and wallah, toast! If you are asking why the bread gets toasted, sugars in the bread are caramelized by the heat.
