... why? Because I invented a way cool idea for ya all.
When I was away for this long (Wolfie long four day) weekend, Tracy put me in charge of making the toast whilst she was cooking the eggs, at each breakfast time. She handed me the gas ring attached to its bottle, along with the little fly wire toaster we have all come to love.... or hate.
"I like
mine WELL done Ian, not like that insipid warm bread that you have!"
So trendsetters, as I started cooking the toast, I noticed a small make-up mirror laying on the table, probably from one of Tracy's zit picking episodes.
IDEA!
I slid the mirror, shiny side up (of course), along the table top, under the gas ring, right hard up next to the bottle, looked into the mirror, and could see when to turn the toast!
No burnt fingers.
No dropped toast on ground.
No underdone toast (warm bread).
This is a quantum leap for the culinary skills of Wolfie, trust me, although when I shouted Eureka, all I got from Tracy was that eye rolling thing she does......
So, if not a TV show, maybe a camping with Wolfie DVD...... not!
Cheers

seriously buddy, chuck the guaze cheapie and find a
shop that sells the toasters made in canada, they are the best thing i have seen yet, truly cooks the toast - not just scorch the sides.
They are round and have a pressed steel base plate and 4 bent wire arms that lock up to form a pyramid shape, can do 4 pieces of toast at a time, to a standard of a good
home toaster.
Mate brought one back from canada, and we have since found then at a few shops here. one of the guys found one in a
shop at
echuca , $ 8 . damn bargin....
can be used over any gas ring, and no doubt over hot coals as
well.

Funny you mention this contraption, We threw ours out, literally. We found that it was taking too long to toast, unless there was absolutely no wind, and if we only wanted 2 or 3 slices, then the heat loss on the unoccupied spaces was a concern.
Before we threw it out, we wondered what else we could use it for, but nothing come to mind, except maybe a novel way of drying a beanie over a gas ring after it had been rained on.
Cheers
Wolfie.
