The back side of the bread gets more toasted than the front side.
The top gets slightly less toasted, especially at the middle where
slices cut from a round loaf are tall.

However, because we're all about compromise here at Team Hamilton,
we keep the toaster at my husband's preferred weak-ass setting.  I
toast my slice twice, flipping it upside-down and backward between
the first and second rounds.
