Li Hui's family has a small household toaster that can only hold two slices of bread at a time. Each side of the bread needs 1 minute to toast. To toast the other side, the bread slice must be taken out, flipped over, and then put back into the toaster. One morning, Li Hui's mother toasted three slices of bread, both sides of each, in a total of 4 minutes (ignoring the time it takes to remove the bread slices). Assuming the three slices of bread are labeled A, B, and C, and each side of the bread is represented by 1 and 2, Li Hui's mother's toasting process was:  
First minute: Toast side 1 of A and side 1 of B;  
Second minute: Toast side 2 of A and side 2 of B;  
Third minute: Toast side 1 of C;  
Fourth minute: Toast side 2 of C.  
Using this household toaster, and ensuring each slice of bread is toasted on both sides, can you complete the toasting in a shorter time? If so, please write down your toasting process and the time it takes; if not, please explain why.
