Vivaldi 53 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Okay - what are people using / recommending for making toast on board? We’ve got one of those Dixon camp type things with the gauze grill inside that you put over the oven top flame. Mostly results in warm bread with burnt edges. Are there better options? For those with inverters are there low wattage ones available? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of the old "flap" electric toasters is probably worth checking out b/c they only have one element and so presumably draw half the current than a slot toaster. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/antiques-collectables/art-deco-retro/other/listing/3507797927?bof=fVwGT7iy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,566 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Similar to yours but solid stainless. Works perfectly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattm 98 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 As far as inverters go, a piece of toast will take a certain amount of energy to toast. It won’t matter if you have a 500w toaster or a 1000w, it’ll just change the amount of time required, with perhaps some difference to depth of toasted-ness. Same as a jug element for boiling water. The only way to save power would be to use white bread, not Vogel’s. I’d stick with gas for toasting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I recently tested grill vs stovetop. Grill worked better for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psyche 613 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 The best one i havent seen for years, its a flat square pressed metal base with large holed wire mesh over the top, it holds the bread about 10mm from the metal base. Designed for Tip Top white and works perfect! The other kinds above are not as good but you might get more pieces done at once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 197 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 It is a tramping toaster which folds down flat. Good for travel. Don't know the brand.
