    Don't know if anyone remembers the old Valor kerosene heaters but you could just lay the bread on top of those to get perfect toast with a very attractive pattern.

    I've given away toasting in favour of frying my bread - althought your Foreman grill is making me feel slightly guilty.

    WW, toasting with meths can be problematic. That's how I may have started a slight house fire when I was younger (although it is best to drill small holes just below the head of the match to ensure better draw...!).

    I didn't claim other things in the vicinity wouldn't catch light, I merely maintain that meths makes the best toast. Mind you, the tin roof of a burning abode would likely produce near perfect toast too.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Slightly off topic but....... A friend of mine had an elevated cholesterol count so his missus bought him GF griller. It did the trick all right drained all the fat away, then the missus would make gravy with it .

    Back on topic now.
    I had a DeLonge toaster, best toaster ever, till it gave up the ghost 2 weeks after the warranty expired. I kicked up a stink but they wouldn't budge. Was gonna cost $150 to fix, told them where they could stick their toaster.
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Toasters I'd like one which doesn't set off fire alarms after you have finished and sitting out side enjoying the toast.

    Whats wrong with electric grill in the stove or gas grill or a gas electric ring toaster frame you can do 4 slices at once.......yes they still sell them mostly in camping stores

    We bought a cheapie from Aldi a couple of years ago - 4 slice toaster that looks a little like the Tefal 4 slice jobby. And it is great. Gets a realy workout in our house, with 7 people living there, and it is still going strong. The only thing that gets me about it is that my MIL changes the settings every now and then and I don't notice. But I don't think there is a toaster our there that can stop that...

    True, true - some people will go to any lengths for a decent toasted crumpet. Although toasting bread or marshmallows over the embers of one's house (or anybody elses for that matter) can look suspicious.

    We've been using a cheapie Mistral since 1997, going strong too. We chose it over the Breville as Mistral had a good history of toasting things.
