Does anyone generally put croissants in the toaster?

Not a standard domestic kitchen toaster. They’re talking ones you find in hotel self service restaurants. Yes I’ve tried it and got told off when it burnt
Not a regular domestic toaster. Croissants are made with butter, heat it it up and it can catch fire.
I had an instagram feed yesterday of a place in Japan where they were putting croissants in a waffle iron, so who knows what people do.
Conveyer belt toaster will toast anything. It’s basically just a little oven food passes through at a set rate. Problem is, it is set at a power that toasts bread nicely, and turns delicate pastry to charcoal
I did this in a hotel once and it caught on fire (I was a kid), so it makes sense
I’m an air fryer wanker so I put mine in there. I couldn’t really brag about putting then in a toaster
This is a hotel toaster as other people have said
At home, I absolutely put croissants in the toaster. Cut it in half lengthways, turn the toaster down as far as it will go, pop it up as soon as you catch a whiff of burning and you’ll have perfectly a toasted croissant with one tiny crispy bit on one of the edges.
If there is a sign saying ‘please don’t’ it usually means someone did.
Speaking as an ex-hotelier, yes people do. In fact, people will put pretty much anything into a toaster in a hotel.
I’ve seen it happen at a hotel, tends to burn at beat, catch fire at worst
It’s for the conveyor belt type of machines, and because of the butter content of those items they cause fat to fall on to the heated elements and burn, and cause the products to stick to the metal belt things.
I’ve seen people do it, and I’ve seen the things start to smoke because of it.
Tell you what, fucking Travelodge tells you not to put the pancakes in the toaster.
Who the fuck did that for them to need a sign telling people not to?
My dad slices them in half and toasts them. Yes, they have a grill.. 🤦🏾♀️
They’re not talking about ordinary toasters however, i’ve seen a few stupid things on tiktok, including squishing down croissants and putting them in ordinary toasters, sand omeone pouring pancake batter straight into the toaster and nobody in the comments being able to decide whether it was “satire” and “sarcasm” or whether the tiktoker genuinely thought that was a good idea. So… unless everyone’s in on the joke and I’m too much on the spectrum to get it, yes. Yes people do generally do put food stuff they absolutely shoudln’t in toasters.
People at hotels do

Some people do silly things. Not long after I married my first husband, he thought it would be a good idea to make cheese on toast in our toaster. It didn’t end well.
I only do it to piss the French off
Evidently
I’m a chef who usually does breakfast at a hotel, and at our place this happens at least once a week. For a while I kept a special pair of silicone tongs on hand to retrieve carbonized patisserie without risk of electrocution. I need to get a new set of those… poking it with a wooden spoon seems less professional.
I stayed in a hotel recently and watched someone burn a croissant and some pancakes to a cinder. I was glad that I had already ate 3 plates of bacon before the evacuation.
I’ve put them in a toaster loads of times? Can’t be bothered to wait for the oven to warm up. Quickly toast, get some cheese and ham in there. Delicious in a few minutes
Stupid rule – only reason for this is because the croissants often get stuck in the toaster. Easily fished back out with a fork 🤷🏻♂️

A couple of minutes in my Air Fryer, yum!
Frozen Potato waffles cook fine in a toaster.
Provided it’s not my toaster and they’re not my croissants, sure.
Too many. We have signs on the toaster where I currently work and it still doesn’t stop people.
Ahhh, so you’re a waffle man!
*Genuinely
I put one in the spinning toaster thing at a beefeater last year and almost set fire to the place. Wife was cross.
One hotel I was staying in a guest put his porridge through the conveyer toaster. No idea what they thought would happen but the rest of us did without toast for a couple of days as a result. I’ve seen others put the butter and jam on the bread first and then send it through as well.
Only in Pullman hotels
I’ve seen signs like this before but not one has mentioned pancakes or waffles; am I staying at the wrong hotels?

yes, often on top of they’re too big
