I've seen up to five "passes" using this method, with *fresh* Kraft
Jet-Puffed. I only ever got up to four...
I -- I will take a middle road, when I indulge these days (very rare
treat, due to Type II diabetes and desire to remain off medications as
long as I can). Char one, "brown-toast" another, and lightly tan a
third.
Yes, I enjoy all three forms. Or, if you will, the spectrum... Darn,
it's been too long. Maybe this coming weekend, while I'm visiting my
sons.
