Toasting in a Oven ?

I'm taking our new old TC out this weekend, so I hit the thrift stores for kitchenware. I now have a purple, well eggplant, pot for spaghetti. But I didn't pick up one of those camping toaster for a burner. Has anyone used the oven and at what settings ?

  • we use a wire stove top toaster ,works great same as home toaster .10.00 at Wal-Mart .or other camping stores.
  • Our TC does not have a stove so we have an electric frying pan for burner type cooking and a $25 toaster oven for the toasting.

    When we cook outside on the Coleman stove, we have one of those wire toasters that fits over the burner. Possible to do four slices and costs maybe $10 at Walmarts or other camping sources. If you have propane stove in TC, this is your solution.
  • We use our oven like a broiler for these things and put bread, hot dogs, etc. under the flame on bottom of oven and then flip it over. You have to watch closely as it will cook fast. I turn the heat setting all the way up.
  • We use the oven. Usually toast one side, remove from the oven, butter the untoasted side, put back in the oven and toast the buttered side. After toasted, we turn the oven off, but leave the toast in the oven to keep it warm. Remove each piece when we are ready to eat it.

    For temp, just play it by ear. Usually high.
  • We make toast the same way we would make french toast - except no egg.
  • Old fashioned stove top toasters are used on high on the stove top, not the oven. Making toast in the oven works about as well. You still need to flip the bread half way through the process to get even browning on both sides.
