Cooking toast on gas burners

Barry, I'm with ya on the toast bit mate, with dollops of vegemite or golden syrup. Just depends on the old taste buds that morning.

I've got a graveyard of unsucessful gas toaster thingys as well, amongst many other failed items of promise. Mayby salvation is at hand LOL.

Let us in on the tip mate....Wheeeeeeredyagetit ?????????

Have a good one fellas.

Fred :~)

Hi Mark, I bought mine from Camping Country Superstores, they have outlets at Warner's Bay & Belmont North here in the Newcastle area. The brand name "Companion" is pretty common with gas stuff so I would imagine that they would be pretty common & available at most camping places.

I've experimented with it a bit & the trick seems to be not to have to much flame. We have three gas burners on our stove & I get the best result using the medium burner which has a more concentrated area than the large one.

An added bonus (according to my wife) is that I will no longer have the need to have a jaffle stuffed with baked beans for brekky, she reckons they make me "break wind" which I assume is women's talk for farting LOL & cheers

Hi Fred, I'm a bit out of sequence here, but never mind! As said & like you I have discarded a few toasters & blamed them as "useless" but then I began looking at the heat output of our burners. This was prompted by the fact that it took an eternity to boil a kettle of water for a cuppa.

So a trip to the gas company for some replacement & larger gas jets have now put us in a situation whereby we now have a need at times to turn the heat down rather than wishing we had the capacity for a few more horse power out of them, so we are now in a better position to control the heat output.

So when using the toaster (IMO) you need to use a burner that is not to big & that allows the flame to lick around the outer perimeters of the toaster. Its better if the flame is a little more concentrated under the stainless steel diffuser which allows heat to do the job rather than flame sort of thing. Hope that helps & cheers.

Cheers mate. I'm going to Belmont for some boat bits tomorrow, so I'll grab one and have a play.

Thanks Philip, It's good to know that you have had yours for so long & it is still going OK which makes it very good value for money. Cheers

So toast is the only thing you don't cook in the Cobb Lol!

He He!
G'day Cuffs.

Nah, not only toast mate. I do eggs & bacon on the hot plate as well.
By the time I fired up the Cobb, it would be lunch time:-)

You don't have a toaster with crumpet setting to toast the bubbly side?
Mine is getting old but saw new ones in Bing Lee last week.
Regards Philip A

I agree with you Pinko, nothing like a bit of crumpet in the morning.... LOL.

It's much better with honey than vegemite !!!!

But the damn wok burner gets in the way !

What? Together? Puke! . . . Then, thinking about it, I might give it a try tomorrow! Cheers, Tony

Try it Tony, trust me, you WILL like it!

Cheers Neil
