Toasting bread

[DuxDeluxe]

We have used this type for many years. Works very well on the gas burner in the van or a small portable gas one outside the van for when you have breakfast outside. Also very cheap 6-10€/£View attachment 387587

This is what I use as well. If it is sunny, using the flat slab on the Cadac works brilliantly

I thought grills were part of the stoves. Our little caravan had twin spinflo stoves with grill underneath, no oven. Takes hardly any extra space up ?

My last German motorhome had just 2 gas rings....that was it
Used one of the flat wire toasters on a ring for a few years but once I had solar I just ran a small toaster off an inverter

Same with us - great piece of kit. Though you have to get the crumbs out regularly or enjoy the smoky aroma when cooking the next piece of bread...!

What do people use to toast bread? I don't want a mains powered toaster but something I can either put on the hob or in the oven. Probably hob actually, the oven takes a bit longer to heat up.

This kind of contraption is available on Amazon for £6 so it's worth a try but I wanted to ask if anyone else has already done the research into perfect toast on the go?

Hi vantastic,
I have tried that particular "toaster" and found it to be totally useless for making an acceptable piece of toast.
A few posts further down Willinfrance shows a photo of one he has been using for years, I also have this particular one and it's the best I have come across to date. You have to keep an eye on it and move the slices (2)frequently and it will produce an acceptable piece of toast.. I bought mine off a seller on Ebay s few years ago, but I have seen them recently on ebay still at £7.99. hope this helps.

Hi there,
Me again, I have just seen a few on Ebay from £7.9 to £10.50. It was listed under "stove top camping toaster.

Agree, are we missing something or are there people out there without a grill?

The best grill I had was on the full cooker in my auto-trail made great toast, but the van itself was a heap of rubbish couldn't get rid of it quick enough.

There's only one way to toast bread
A It must be fresh a unsliced bloomer, thick cut and then toasted using a copper toasting fork before a red hot blazing fire.
B Then spread with best Butter or as was our custom of a Saturday night with Browns dripping, salted to taste.
Oh ! happy days , nowadays being Celiac I cannot eat bread with gluten, barred from having Butter, and no longer have a.fire!!

Always knew when I came home from school, if we had a coke fire going it was toast for tea.

I've tried the grill, pretty ok results but takes a bit of time.
I've tried frying pan, I'm not a fan of how it turns out.
Looks like I saved £6 by asking the question though so thanks for that!
I've actually used one of these before having from http://besttoasterovenguides.com

Pretty good results but you can only do one slice at the time
Ridgemonkey looks to be for filled toasts, as in cheese toasties?
I've the batteries and the inverter to run a full size toaster but I'm trying to save space! ?

I am using it for years now. pretty good stuff.

Not tried it yet but I have been given a gas heated sandwich toaster, quite small so would only take two small slices

The best toast ever was on an extending toasting fork in front of a coal fire

I’m coeliac too but get Glutafin seeded long life bread on prescription that toasts quite nicely

 

[TheBig1]

I have not tasted coal fire toast for years and now have a big craving for some

fresh crusty bread from the bakery - no need for toast or

 

[Liverpoollass]

Why not just put it under the grill, simples, btw the wire contraption is best left where you saw it.

Yep...but just remember to turn it 180 degrees

You were lucky! our Autotrail was GARBAGE and so was the grill.

I bought one of those but I didn't find it to be very successful.

I have used a non stick frying pan, get it really hot first then slap in your bread, turn when it has reached the right colour for you. (we do carry a small electric one for when on hook up. Not tried my ridge monkey but would imagine it is similar to the frying pan.

Tried my Ridgemonkey for toasting a slice, works a treat.

We are mostly on EHU so just use an ordinary household toaster, when not on mains electricity a griddle pan makes perfect toast.
