More From Bar-B-Buns: An Industrial Electric Toas-Tite
In August 2010, Boy and I saw a Toas-Tite come up for sale on eBay. It was unlike anything we’d ever seen. It was industrial sized and electric. We could hardly believe that it was actually a Toas-Tite! The seller was based in Florida and we sent him a message to learn more about it, [...]
A Gift From The (Greek) Gods: Baklava
When I was in middle school, I had a class project which for some reason involved making Greek foods for an all-Greek potluck. My project partner and I made a white bean soup and baklava. I had never made baklava before but I found a recipe on the magical interwebs and we gave it a [...]
Picnics Full of Pudgy Pies
It may be the middle of fall and the beginning of December, but some days in California, we still get enough warmth and sunshine for a picnic. Boy and I have made Toas-Tites at home. We’ve made them camping. But we had never actually transported Toas-Tites that had been cooked in the kitchen and eaten [...]
Not So Sloppy Joe Toas-Tites
Up until recently, Boy had never had a sloppy joe and I had only had one in my life (which wasn’t all that good). But then, the Cook’s Illustrated Light and Healthy 2011 cookbook came into our life. And that changed everything. Now we make sloppy joes probably about once a month for dinner. So [...]
Using The Leftovers: Bread Pudding
The Toas-Tite grill itself was originally envisioned as a new way to eat and enjoy leftovers. But when you make a Toas-Tite sandwich today, you end up with extra bread trimmings. So what do you do with those? Well…there are lots of options. You can use the extra bread to plug holes in the walls, [...]
A Vintage Toas-Tite And Replica Comparison
Recently, we posted about the new Toas-Tite replicas from Replica Products. Now it’s time to get to the detailed comparison to the vintage originals. We compared the replica to one of our post-patent original Toas-Tites (rather than the pre-patent, “deluxe”, Boy Scout, or Tid-Bit). The Basics Original Replica Date of Production 1949 2011 Made In [...]
C Is For Cookie, T Is For Toas-Tite
The only thing better than a freshly baked cookie is a freshly baked cookie, plus some raw cookie dough right off the spoon. This Toas-Tite has plenty of both. Plus if you can’t decide if you want sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies, fret no more. You get both of those as well. (And yes, [...]
A Glorious Pudgy Pecan Pie
It’s not a holiday season without some pecan pie. I love apple and pumpkin pies but there’s something about pecan pie. The caramel-y sweetness. The toasted pecans. I just love it. So of course, when I saw the America’s Test Kitchen All-Time Best Holiday Recipes on the shelf with it’s old-fashioned Pecan Pie recipe…well, I [...]
Holiday Pies: Apple and Pumpkin
Around Thanksgiving and Christmas, apple and pumpkin pies are a must-have. But the trouble is, sometimes you have to pick! Have no fear, when you’re making Toas-Tite sized pies, you don’t have to make that decision. You can have your pie and eat it too. Apple Pie Pudgy Pie Ingredients: 1/2 a small apple, sliced [...]
A Thanksgiving Toas-Tite: Turkey, Cranberry, And Brie
Thanksgiving is less than a week away. To get in the holiday mood, Boy and I got some eggnog, turned on the heater, and of course made a turkey (….just to have….because we wanted to). So that means that before Thanksgiving is even here, we already have delicious leftovers. As you’re getting ready for your [...]
