What if you only want 1 piece of toast and not two? Will it still automatically go down?

I believe they're weighted so that a single piece of toast has enough mass to trip the mechanism.

Since they only use a thermostat on one side, you do need to use a particular side for single toast.

Only one of the holes has a trigger. You fill that last, or only.
