Water content I'd guess.

because it's more solid than bread or crumpets which loses heat quickly through their holey nature. bagels retain their heat under their 'skin'.

Do bagels not have holes in them?

ive often thought the same thing as i "juggle" a hot bagel round the kitchen!

...this can happen with pitta bread too - be careful out there!

Ooof, yes I have been done by a pitta before. Take it out of the toaster and give it a little squeeze and a superheated jet of steam shoots out onto your fingers!! Can be nasty.

And what about Pop-Tarts?!

Simple - don't use a toaster. Bagels are much nicer toasted under the grill only on their 'cut' side

hmm bagels lovely.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

especially the cinnamon and raison ones, they get even hotter than plain ones.

I thought this thread was gonna be about the aftermath of Mr Grumpy's microwave DIY

Ditto.

My fave bagel filling has to be smoked salmon with cream cheese and a light squeeze of lemon juice. MMMMMMMMmmmmm

Why is everyone picking on bagels ? Have they not been through enough with being forced to smoke 40 Woodbines a day under lab conditions ?

Yes, it is cruel to put bagels in a toaster but, apparently, Koreans love them!
