Preparing Your Toaster
Before toasting your Pop-Tarts, make sure your toaster is clean and free of crumbs. This will help prevent burning or smoking.
Adjust the toaster settings to the desired level of toasting. For a lighter toasting, choose a lower setting, and for a darker, crispier result, select a higher setting.

- If your toaster allows you to choose the type of bread or pastry being toasted, select the “pastry” option.
Once you have adjusted the settings, insert your Pop-Tarts into the toaster slots and press the lever down to start the toasting process.
Wait for the Pop-Tarts to pop up from the toaster when they are done, and carefully remove them to avoid burning yourself.
