Toaster substitution tends to get trickier. Lay a slice of bread on a stove burner on bitter minimum flame (spluttering) then be prepared, I mean f-a-s-t with a pair of tongs when toasty bread is smelled. Like pooched eggs. Drop eggs into a pot of boiling water then use a screen type scoop disc to retrieve them after exactly 45 seconds. Let the water drain through the screen for a dozen seconds then tah-dah! Look ma! No battery! Shoot I've used a Bernz-O-Matic propane torch to heat water for a French Press.
My 5-year old experiences with Keurig cups is probably obsolete. Does Keurig now have coffee cups that don't taste like re-used dishwater drainage?
