I made a toaster waffle for myself this morning. Growing impatient, I popped it out before it was all the way done. As I was buttering it, I noticed parts of the waffle were still cold. Since there was already butter and syrup on it, I couldn’t put it back in the toaster. I threw it in the microwave for 20 seconds and it came out floppy instead of crispy. What gives?

When you heat bread in the toaster, the dry heat removes moisture and makes it crispy. A microwave, on the other hand, uses microwaves to heat the water inside the bread, turning it into steam. This steam gets trapped inside, making the bread soft and floppy instead of crispy. So, a toaster makes bread crispy by drying it out, while a microwave makes it floppy by steaming it from the inside
