Toasting Marshmallows Over Your Stovetop

The point of toasting a Marshmallow is not to brown the outside, that is a side effect. The point of toasting a marshmallow is to soften the substance while expanding the gas pockets inside, turning the rubbery widget back into the light foam it was created from. You can (and should!) do this over an eye of your stove.

I feel very strongly about this.
