How Do You Make Toast?

[Goal15]

Toaster out on the picnic table with extension cord because I found out about the hush function on the smoke alarm AFTER the first experience of making toast INSIDE the AS. Plus that way DW gets to sleep in a little longer

I thought that was the purpose of the pillows provided by Airstream on the couch! We remove our smoke detector and tuck it under 2-3 pillows...

Hadn't thought about using the pillows for that purpose. But now that you have told me the smoke detector is removable, Im thinking that putting it inside a gallon Ziploc bag might do the same thing..... but i do enjoy getting out early and making coffee and toast outside of the AS.

If you are making charcoal instead of toast, I'd understand the smoke detector going off.

If you do that, how will you know when the toast is done?

four or five old tires, half a gallon of gasoline or other flammable liquid, a coat hanger, a comfortable chair, bread of your choice.

I've tried starting the generator but a 1,000 w. generator at high altitude isn't enough to run the toaster or microwave. I could plug the toaster directly into the generator, but haven't tried that. Besides, taking out the generator and starting it is a lot for some toast.

But, we never tried the broiler. It's pain to light the oven, but less work than getting out the generator. Good idea! Toast again! Yippee!

Hahahaharrrrrr!!!! I liked that one!

[Gene]

You have a good point Richie. This thread has been about the wrong thing all along. Gosh, the Forum solves all problems.

I too have the little stove top toaster thaat you put 4 pieces of toast (or english muffins in) My husband thought it would burn the toast, but it works perfectly!! Its small, lightweight and folds up small!

[summerkid]

Idiots. You just made me toast some English muffins. And it's 1:40 a.m.

[SteveH]

I use a square griddle that is teflon coated, butter one side of the bread (because that's the way I like it), and toast away.

We've had one of the wire holders you put four slices in on top of the stove, but found it burned the bread in places and didn't toast in others.

This is of course, only when we don't have biscuits to make in the oven, which we really prefer to toast. Yea, we're from the South.

[Tin Trekkers]

Maybe it's just me, but I think it's almost a requirement to have a little toaster

inside the "big toaster."

[ROBERT CROSS]

Yep.....

[Mrs. Bale]

We make the "low calorie" version by buttering the bread or English muffin and browning in a skillet on the stove. Does the oven have a broiler? Haven't tried that, but if so that would work nicely.

On a related subject....we solved the problem of making waffles while boon-docking! We originally went looking for an old, plug-in waffle iron, and this was what we came home with....and, it makes GREAT waffles on the Airstream stovetop!

Thanks Warbler5! You've solved a mystery for me.

I inherited the "top half" of a waffle iron like that when my mother-in-law passed away years ago. I've spent a long time trying to figure out how to use it. Your photo answered my question. It's supposed to come with a holder.

That makes me ask another--How can I get one?

Please post or PM me the source.

Thanks.

We have been using one of these for well over 25 years. It works well and does not require electricity. If you are going to start your generator at 6am for an English Muffin, you better have enough and coffee for everyone camped near you.

Well..................you start off will a bread or muffin of your choice, and go from there,...............any way you can.

In southern California, out in the desert, you make toast without changing the color of the bread or muffin.

How??

Just leave it out in the sun, for about 3 minutes.

Saves energy, too.

little wire camping toaster does a beautiful job, better than my home toaster by far
