    But, you don’t “toast” anything in a pan. Toasting is done in an oven/broiler type fashion (counter-top work essentially the same way), often with a grill either horizontally or vertically involved. I guess if you want to get technical about a pan-done cheese sandwich, it would be a pan-fried-cheese? Like pan fried vegetables?

      When recipes call for you to cook an item in a pan without first adding oil, they say to toast it to indicate that you are applying dry heat to it. For example, most Indian recipes call for toasting whole spices in a dry pan before grinding. That is also why you can toast marshmallows over an open flame.
