How do you make toast when you're away from home?
We've got a 2 burner hob (no oven or grill) and one of those cheap fold up toaster things. It's evil, it's rubbish at making toast and you just get burnt fingertips using it
Is there anything that actually works well with a gas hob? Or do you use a small electric toaster whilst on hook-up?
There's no dignity in being without hot bread based products on a weekend away. Woe is me.
Dry fry it in a pan.
Inverter and a cheap toaster, we have an oven and grill but the inverter was the way to go for the coffee machine 😉
Have you thought of a toaster?
I know a toaster is the obvious answer if we're on a hook-up but they do take up space.
Next Q: which compact toaster for bread, bagels and fat crumpets?
Time someone came up with a 12v USB breville, for toasties in the hills.
I've a kampa hob, 2 rings and a grill, it's no much cop for toast either to be fair. And I need butane bottle for it, which is pretty impossible at present.
Dry fry it in a pan
Half a job. 😉
Eggy Bread is what you need.
Folding rack thing, one slice at a time. Cheap dedicated one (check amazon or ebay), Ridgemonkey for making other stuff too, fake ridgemonkey is reasonable compromise. I like the cheap option.
in a pan +1
needs to be a nice thick/heavy pan
or just make fried bread obvs.
Our caravan has a grill so we use that (although the results aren't great), but on hookup we have a toaster. You can get really small toasters for this purpose, available from caravan shops on or offline.
Blow torch.
Edit: Dang beaten to it, with a photo as well.

Boak.
Is this a 1920's campervan 😯
Buy a grill/cooker from camping gaz or one of the others. Very cheap these days.
Alternative non camping toast making technique. Bending a fork into a hook and prongs to enable bread to be suspended in front of an electric fire.
In a toaster usually.
We use the fold up thing pictured at the top. Works Ok, if a bit slowly, on the larger of the two gas rings we have. If you don't open a window the monoxide alarm goes off after a while mind. It isn't really any good for hand cut sourdough or crumpets though. Best used with Warburtons cheapo sliced type bread and you do have to rotate top to bottom as well as turning over part way through.
the only toast which works whilst camping is on an open fire, with a specially selected and sharpened stick to hold the bread. Best toast ever.
The Primus Camping Toaster works well enough. It is much better than the the one with the 3 angled pieces of bread. It also folds down to nothing.
the traditional method - a toasting fork
nearest thing to that these days is a bbq fork

You have just restored my faith in the Singletrack stereotype 👍🤣🤣
In a ridgemonkey
We have a grill in ours.
@Jerm - thanks I'd forgotten about Primus
Some good ideas above.
I'm just trying to avoid carrying a toaster in the van. We have a small 1L electric kettle which we use all the time on hook up. The toaster will take up valuable space in the cupboard which is usually where I stash the wine, hence the dilemma
🤪
You can get more wine in the cupboard if you buy boxes, they also don't rattle about. 😆
Anyone seen gin in boxes,
Ridgemonkey- can also be used for cooking pizzas, pies, sausage rolls, toasties etc
Pies?
Sausage rolls?
Where do I sign up?

And pizza!
(Although that needs folded first)
Over a wood fire, with a toasting fork. What do you mean, you don't own a toasting fork?
Somewhere, we've got a camping gaz toasting device which was my dad's. It's like a combination between a cheese grater and some sort of evil alien pyramid, it does work pretty well but consumres pretty much a whole tin of gas to do a couple of sheets
We had a Diablo toastie one, never managed to get a good one out of it.
Plus one for Matt_ss_xc - we have one and it works a treat . You have about the right amount of time to butter and eat a slice just as the next one is ready...
Time someone came up with a 12v USB breville, for toasties in the hills.
My mate had a 12v toastie maker, I think it took about 40 minutes to do a toastie.

Mint for toastie making, bacon frying, steak searing...
These work very well. Far better than the pop up. Work well on naans too!
Nice that she lets you park up on her land.
You could slap it onto the side of the engine block, like a tandoor.
This is how we make it when staying in a small tent:
1. Pitch up near friends who have van + camp cooker
2. Supply food
3. They will cook food 😉 🍞🍳☕️☕️☕️☕️
That thing duncancallum posted is a traditional American camping device called a pudgie pie maker.
