An English muffin (a crumpet, American style) has the same property, which is why it's usually used instead of toast.

Something just occurred to me. I myself poach eggs in the water. Some people use poaching cups -- butter in the bottoms and the cups in a hotwater bath. This too is called poaching and makes for a tidy egg, but has this bain-marie sort of process another name?
