INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most toasters require access to an electric wall outlet. If the toaster is plugged in but isn't working, check the cable for damage first, then plug the toaster into a different outlet.  If plugging the toasted into a different outlet doesn't help, then the toaster might be broken. Don't use the toaster if the cable appears damaged in some way. Check for damage, such as rips, tears, or scorch marks. Do not, under any circumstances, put a metal implement into the toaster while it is plugged in. Likewise, do not reach your hand into the toasting slots while the appliance is hot. The toaster works by firing metal filaments up to high heat using dangerous electrical currents. If you use your hand, you may burn yourself. If you put a fork into the slots, then you run the risk of electrocuting yourself.  If the toast gets stuck in the slots: try depressing the lever for a moment, then popping it up manually—quickly, with force—to fling the toast out the top of the toaster. Unplug the toaster before you try to remove food that is stuck. Then, use wooden tongs to remove the item. Wooden tongs will not conduct electricity! when it's not plugged in. Most toasters feature a flat, removable tray that slides in and out of the bottom of the appliance. This tray catches crumbs and burnt bits. Remove the tray and dump out the contents to clear space for more crumbs.  If your toaster doesn't have a tray, unplug it first, then carry it over to a sink or trashcan. Turn it upside down and shake the crumbs out. You need to remove these crumbs; otherwise, they become a fire hazard.

SUMMARY: Make sure that the toaster is plugged in. Practice toaster safety. Clean a toaster

The threads under subtopics are those posted by the forum community members. It is important that your post is under a relevant subtopic so the moderators do not move or close your thread. If you can’t find any relevant subtopics, it is always a good idea to search for it. It is a good way to get your answers, and to prevent redundant posts, which moderators will pull down. The search function should be somewhere at the top corners of the page; just type in the topic you want to find to see if anyone has posted something similar.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a quality whey protein or other protein additive. Verify that your protein additive has all essential amino acids. Amino acids help your body maintain blood and organ functions. They also help boost your metabolism.  Ensure that your protein has low levels of cholesterol, which is not a necessary addition to healthy protein options. Determine if the additive contains natural proteins. Artificially produced proteins aren't as effective in building muscles as natural proteins. This should be apparent on the label — if not, ask a sales representative. Generally, aim to have a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, especially after a workout. Plan this in advance by reading nutrition labels on your shake ingredients. It may help to write down what you are putting in your shake, and include how many grams of carbs and protein your ingredients contain. That way you can tweak your recipe to get the desired ratio. Unlike the natural carbohydrates found in grains and seeds, processed carbs are not good for your body. Starch and extra sugar is added to many foods, like cereal, snack bars, frozen and prepackaged meals, and energy drinks. Check nutrition labels and don't add anything to your shake that contains high fructose corn syrup and other sugary, processed ingredients. Although it's best to snack on fruits, veggies, and whole grains to get carbs, you can also add carbohydrate supplements to a shake before, during, or after your workout. These “high glycemic” carbs — dextrose, glucose, and maltodextrin — require little digestion and give you a quick blood sugar spike.  This helps your body absorb protein and repair muscle better. Waxy maize is another complex carb supplement that helps your body refuel by replenishing its sugar stores (called glycogen). Start the blender at a slow speed and turn it up to medium. Shut the blender off, and pour your blended shake into a glass or travel mug. Make sure the texture is smooth and there are no sharp chunks in your shake before you enjoy it.

SUMMARY: Start your protein shake with a good base. Create the right carb-to-protein ratio. Avoid processed carbs. Try carb supplements. Blend your ingredients together for a smooth shake.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You should fill it about halfway, if not a little higher. A simple syrup is nothing more than a combination of equal parts granulated sugar and water, heated together until the sugar dissolves. Simple syrups are great for reducing the bitterness of alcohol and extremely sour juices. Pour all three liquids into your shaker and over the ice before securing the cap. The ice in the shaker not only cools the cocktail but also helps to combine the syrup into the alcohol and the juice. Continue shaking using your dominant hand, pointing the lid of the shaker away from you and anyone else, for 15 to 30 seconds. The strainer built into your shaker should suffice, but you can also double-strain your gin sour by pouring the liquid through a separate cocktail strainer, as well.

SUMMARY:
Fill the shaker with ice. Pour the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker. Shake vigorously. Strain the drink into a cocktail glass.
