Grilled toast isn't proper toast. It goes all dry.
Proper toast is toasted in a toaster. Then left to go cold while stood up, for the full chewy "hotel toast" effect.

I've been using the lean-too method, but I'm thinking about investing in a toast rack.

toast you have to tear at.
I do like grilled toast that's been left to go cold and crispy though.
the kind that shatters like glass when you try to butter it

Leave it until there's a good chance of fire, then add bread.

but if someone has to use a toaster, sideways toasting ensures an even crispness

It's OK for one slice, but leaves "standing room only" for the other slice.
Bastard toasters. Next time I buy one (and it won't be long - my current Russell Hobbs P.O.S. toaster is about to pack up) I'm going to take a loaf of bread to curry's and insist on a demonstration.

And video the resulting looks from the staff.
