How do you get toasted?

[Stars101]

Followed the 12volt coffee maker thread and thought, "Hmmm - I wonder what they eat with their coffee?.... possibly toast?"

So how do most of you make toast?

I carried a cheap electric toaster, but always resented the space it took up in the cabinet. Plus we boon dock or Wally dock 1/2 the time and it was no good.

Tried toasting in a cast iron skillet using butter- mostly burned it and tasted very dry. Plus we aren't a "butter & jelly" family. Buttered is buttered and jelly is jelly - no butter allowed on the jelly toast. And I only carry cast iron if we need it for a recipe. So it was a lot of weight for a piece of toast.

Tried toasting it with a Coleman stove top camping toaster. Dried and burned. Plus the Coleman never did burn off all the stink - it always set the smoke alarm off no matter how low I set the burner.

Tried a DIY stove top toaster using a large tin can and some wire to suspend the toast over burner - dry and scorched. Argh, I just want some toast!

I finally found a way that worked. I use the GSI camping toaster.



Works quickly (1min per side) and it doesn't come our dry or burned. Folds flat and small. I like it.

Edit: I am gluten intolerant so having a way to heat/toast the GF bread and bagels I eat is a must! They have improved the flavor over the past 10 years, but GF bread can still get really dry and needs some help to make it taste decent IMHO.

Yes you can still buy the Black & Decker under counter unit. This one was given to me after a friend remodelled his kitchen. The new one does a 9 inch pizza or 4 pieces of toast. Naturally you need a hook-up or generator.

I use a campatoaster. Works excellent! Better than my toaster at home and faster even though I have to flip the toast. Just don't use too high a flame on the stove.

I got mine off Amazon for about $8 and free shipping with PRIME

There is nothing better than grilled toast...only thing my dad could make without burning it....sometimes.

I usually use one of those, or more often than not, I just start the generator to use during the making of breakfast, and shut it down when there's no more electrical need.

The trick to these items is a piece of heavy duty tinfoil. Cover up the unused sides and the top with the foil and it will brown up a lot faster. The same piece of foil will last for years.

I don't eat a lot of bread, but the toaster sounds cool.

For Morning Toast: Turn Oven to broil and place bread on bottom rack below the flame, turn bread over to complete Toast.
For Evening Toast: place vodka in freezer the night before, fill up ice cube tray and also place in freezer. When 5 o clock hits, fill red plastic cup with ice 1/3 full of vodka and your drink mix of choice and enjoy, keep doing this over and over again to complete Toast.

WOW! The beauty of being a light weight, I'm there way before 6.

Two is just "lightly"

Four is "well done"

and 6 is "burnt to a crisp" :B

Maker's and Ginger Ale - year round
Bailey's Irish Cream - fall & winter
Bud light Lime - summer
Tequila - whenever I want to get in trouble.

or if we are talking bread - the wire thingy that OBX uses. good ol dry toast is good for hang-overs

A cast iron frying pan. We just don't have a lot of space.

Good wine or Crown..


I have a ridged skillet, small square thing, cheap. Use it to toast whatever. It's almost as quick as a toaster, two slices at a time, bagel, whatever.

I found one of those a few years ago and immediately got rid of all the other gadgets I had acquired to make toast.

Regular electric toaster. But I don't own a truck camper.

Me personally, 2-3 cocktails. DH, about 6-7 :B
