Everyone's familiar with the standard two slot toaster. You put two

If you put only one slice in you go thru the same steps, push the
handle down, all the heating elements come on and after a while the
toast pops up. But in my toaster when it pops up there is a
considerable difference in the amount of toasting done on one side of
the slice compared to the other.

Why the difference when only one slice is toasted?

Hey, everyone's cracking jokes and I thought it is a good question!
I've got 2 toasters, one electronic and one mechanical, and they both
do the same thing to a single slice of bread, and I never figured out
why either.

I think I figured out why, I'll post my solution in another day or
two. I was wondering why for at least a year and then one day it hit
me (the solution, not the toast popping up). I thought a home repair
group might generate some good ideas but it seems like that's not the
case so far.
