Best method to cook Toast?

[Radio-active]

Im interested as a new Cali owner what the preferred method is for the start of the day slice of toast is.
Do we buy a low wattage toaster or buy a gas burner 'adapter'?

 

[GrannyJen]

you buy one of those thingy's, a wire grid, and plonk it on a gas ring.

I will get you a link.

Mine's three years old, cost a fiver, will never wear out and does brilliant toast.


PS: Something like this

and this looks almost like mine

and delicious spread with Waitrose duchy slightly salted butter (the toast that is, not the toaster)

What Jen said, closest you'll get to toast rather than hot bread. Beg to differ on longevity though. Ours was new, used every day and is pretty holy after one month (my son did have a kind of Lucifer attitude to its use though). Returning it for replacement.

Good grief!

A holy toaster? Did you nick it from the local convent?

The old ones must be better made had ours for about 10years and still going strong.

Are these the lay flat ones or the triangle slanty type?

 

[Days out]

Buy one of these.... Tefal egg 'n' toast. Does poached eggs to perfection. Bought mine on eBay.

looks like the pyramid type can do 4 slices and the flat type one slice at a time?

Like this for toasting https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004VW0Y1S/?tag=eliteelect-21
The bread needs to be moved about regularly and the gas on minimum. One slice at a time and easy to burn the bread but still the best method I've found. The triangle ones are hopeless.

 

[Max-Felix]

As posted and others said anything other than the gauze type (which heats up and glows like a toaster element) just give hot bread.

 

[Stoneybroke]

Toast?
What you need are Staffordshire Oatcakes, preferably with cheese and bacon.
Now that's a breakfast!

If pyramids could make toast then tut would have been renamed tefal and Egyptians would have been called warburtons

Sadly they can't, hopeless. Gauze, one after delicious one at a time.... just as the frank coopers is being spread on one so another is toasting to perfection. Toast should be treated with reverence, not as a production line object!

The Primus toaster works fine - we find it much better than the pyramid ones. the Primus toaster works best if you don't rush it - think.... an electric toaster takes some time so if you are a bit more patient and want good toast you can have that, or you can have very quick not such perfect toast!

Heavy bottomed non stick frying pan and a magic cooker lid. Although unfortunately you can't get the magic cooker lids anymore although we've found that a normal lid works fine but it needs some ventilation so not on completely.

You need to let the pan get good and hot first.

One less thing to cart about as we've always got the pan and lid with us anyway.

PS the pan and magic cooker lid also does great toasties which might get a bit messy on the contraptions some of you are using.

I also have some of those toaster pocket things which means you can do a toasted sandwich, fish fingers etc. I would say that you do get quite a lot of crumbs from the gauze toaster thing. You could always do French toast or the Zebedee households favourite pancakes. We bought a gadget in a French supermarket which distributes the heat evenly from the burner and that helps too. I do like my gadgets! You can't rush in the Cali and that is one of the joys.

Agreed, the gauze toaster is the best but you do need to turn the slice to stop it burning. My pyramid has been thrown out !

 

[Radio-active]

Wow...thank you for all your inputs, looks like a gauze toaster it is, one slice at a time, taking my time...

 

[ejmoore]

We make toast just using a dry non stick frying pan, work well, cheap & easy. Try this before you invest in any fancier stuff.

Can't bother carrying a toaster in my Cali , just eat what's availeble on site or in the supermarket.

 

[GrannyJen]

I'm having a free breakfast tomorrow....

As well as a free stay on the 5* holiday park that I'm parked up on tonight .....

Almost takes away the Cali camping feel, but I'm not going to say no.

I must ask for toast.

and a very nice free breakfast it was to!

I am looking to buy a mobile home on a holiday park. This company offered me a free overnight stay in one of their units but I just had to say "sorry, I will rather sleep in my own bed than someone elses. I will bring my own, just give me a space to park up and breakfast in the morning: .....
