Split an English muffin really lopsided?

You're slicing open the simplest food, the English Muffin (never mind they're
fork split!), when the top or bottom breaks away at an angle 1/3 sooner or so
than the other?

Now you're left with terribly incompatible pieces!

What do you do?

Rethink your method of attack. Maybe you need longer tines on your fork,
maybe you need a longer attention span.

I'd just grab a fistful of bacon and cream cheese and cram it all down my
throat.

I never "slice" an English muffin. It destroys the surface texture they
were meant to have when split properly. I have no problem inserting a fork
systematically around the perimeter to then pull it apart into equal
halves. Maybe more practice is needed. :-)

That almost sounds pornographic! :D

I broke them up into bits, toasted them on parchment paper in the oven and
added them to a pan of scrambling eggs and cheese. Turned out delicious.

I've had that happen, and just toasted them anyway. Took out the
smaller one before the toaster popped.

There IS a bagel slicer available to keep the halves even and to keep
klutz's from slicing their hands. That might work? ;-)

Use another fork not a knife to split the muffin. Pierce from several sides
and finally twist the fork.

Ordinarily I use a partially serrated plastic knife, no trouble. The
carving knife was a little unwieldy cutting into English muffin with one
hand while holding it in the other. It WAS a bad idea!

Andy did say they came "fork split" but you are right, two forks might
be best anyway. I can usually get the presplitting to work if I press
the thin sides inward.

IMHO


The "fork splitting" is nothing more than a few holes poked into the side of
the muffin and is totally inadequate for separating the 2 halves. At one
time it may have been sufficient but not today. I'll bet over the years the
recipe has changed by adding more yeast/air to keep the same size but
reducing the amount of flour necessary to create a similar looking product.

Thomas' are already fork split. Sometimes I'd try and pull it apart with my
fingers as I worked it around. Sometimes it would rip, sometimes not. The
partially serrated plastic works better, slowly cutting and rotating in
smooth motions.

Aside: At my old Sunday brunch, the kitchen staff would split and oven
broil (toast) the English muffins and toss them in a chafing dish, then two
new "up and yuppie" owners came in and put whole English muffins in a pile
on a brunch table with 4 toasters. I was pretty vocal to one of them about
what a stupid idea that was, and since the English muffins wouldn't pop out
AT ALL will you be willing to risk the liability of someone sticking their
fingers or fork in the toaster to retrieve them, not to mention you've
created a waiting line worse than the rest of the brunch line combined. The
next week they were back to oven toasting the English muffins. The BUMS!!!
They hadn't run a restaurant before and they didn't for very long
thereafter.

They did cost cut and take every shred of elegance out of the place by
taking away the table cloths and napkins in favor of paper placemats and
napkins and no more table candles or free champagne after 11am.

You have a point there, but your hair conceals it. ;)

I don't know what my aversion to fork splitting open an English muffin is.
I think speed. I've knife-split them as far back as I can remember.

Om mentioned the straight edge sharp knives don't leave nooks & crannies
behind, I'm in agreement. My ceramic knife will just slide through, without
any carving motion and very little pressure, surface is cut smooth as a
piece of bread. Not so with the cheap-o plastic knife.

I'll fork split an English muffin later. I hope I don't jab myself! :D

Mom made Eggs Benedict using English Muffins, poached eggs, sliced ham
and cheese sauce.

l, not -l,

While I like your fixings, a top and bottom should not be separated for a
two open-faced breakfast dish. They belong together as a sandwich with
"stuff" in between them. The only time that system fails is using an end
slice and next slice of bread for a grilled cheese sandwich. ;)

Imho,
