Can you be a little more specific as to exactly what that means and
why it causes uneven toasting.

look im no toast expert, but it seems simple. you have a case of cause and
effect. the cause is using one piece of bread instead of two. the effect
is burnt toast.

i think the logical assumption is that bread absorbs energy given off by the
burners. when there isnt any bread there, but the burner is still on, that
energy goes elsewhere. in this case, over to the other piece of bread. if

toast the right side of the right slice. This could be solved by
making the center board a sandwich with an insulating layer in the
middle so the heat couldn't transfer thru. Perhaps some toasters
have that, mine apparently does not.

If you're going to bother to deal with the problem at
all, the sensible thing to do is have a separate lever
for each toaster slot, or at least a switch for the second
slot.

Most people, though, don't spend a lot of effort trying to
color-match the two sides of a slice of toast.
