Toasting is for bad bagels but I know lots of people like to have them this way and I can see why a business owner needs to meet this request.<br /><br />I look forward to tasting your bagels.

A lot of people don't like to toast because the actual toasting takes a few minutes and it backs up the line because most toasters can only handle 3 or bagels at a shot. I got a huge toaster so hopefully that solves the problem. The bagels won't be like David's or H&H. H&H used white sugar instead of barley malt and was way too sweet in my opinion.BagelGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155261136809679167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-18113180186834944802011-07-12T14:27:57.086-04:002011-07-12T14:27:57.086-04:00@marjorie, agreed!

You want steam bagels go to Hot and Crusty. The kettle will be arriving tomorrow at 10AM. That oven is a Cutler. This is one of the original ( some say best) bagel ovens. The company no longer exists so the only way to get one is to find one used and restore it. That's what I did. The temptation these days is to go with a steam oven because that way you will save $ on your gas and electric bills and can eliminate the messy kettle business altogether. Our bagels are going to be hand rolled and kettle boiled. This is the way my partner and I did it as kids deep in the outer reaches of the un-gentrifiable parts of Brooklyn. Out there the other way isn't an option unless you have a death wish ;-)BagelGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155261136809679167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-49402060506504711582011-07-12T13:29:40.131-04:002011-07-12T13:29:40.131-04:00Unboiled bagels are a SHONDEH.

I know this because as a teen I worked in a bagel shop that had one of these steam injection ovens. Not many people boil bagels these days and that is why you don't get the chewy crust.Kurtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-72399587536443363022011-07-12T12:01:19.900-04:002011-07-12T12:01:19.900-04:00Finally some positive news around here.
