We'll definitely email you, Lois! Check out our "How To Buy" page if you're in the market for another Toas-Tite. We'll actually be updating it shortly along with a dedicated post about a new place you can find Toas-Tites so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your comment, Carolyn! That’s so neat. What kind of sandwiches did your grandmother make?

I’m so glad I found this blog! I grew up with these sandwiches, only my family called them fathias. The clamshell griddle was a fathia maker. My grandmother swore it was a Syrian thing from her childhood, but I’ve never been able to find anything about them under that name.

Hey Boy and Girl, I came across your site when I was writing my blog on my Toas-Tite and I fell in love with it. Your site is fun, just like the Toas-Tite. I love the recipes you have listed and will definitely be trying some of them if not all of them. It’s amazing how much fun one can have with these little gadgets! You can read the story about my family’s T-T at my website (MJ’s Kitchen). Thanks for this site. I will be back A LOT!

It really is a great little invention, and thank you so much for the wonderful comment. We get so excited when we hear that another family has had so much fun with their Toas-Tites as we have. When I was growing up I pretty much thought of our flying saucer as a tuna melt maker until I realized we could try other things.

If you have any suggestions for any recipes we are always looking to try something new! Thank you so much for telling us your story, and enjoy your flying saucer!

In my house, growing up, we used to call it the “flying saucer” (maker). I’m not sure why. I am the youngest of 8 children, and at some point I inherited our “flying saucer.”

I was out to dinner with 4 of my siblings the other night, and my brother wanted to know where it wound up. I told him I had it, and he asked if I ever used it. I have, but not in a REALLY long time. I think I haven’t used it as much because I didn’t feel I had the right “stove top” for it. Growing up, we had a stove with the electric coils, which were always so nice and easy to burn the corner of your bread on. The stove I have now isn’t quite the same.

So, last night I pulled out my Toas-Tite (like the commenter above, it is so worn, that I thought it was “Toas-Tito”), and cooked up a cheddar cheese and bacon sandwich. It was incredibly good!

I’ve never made anything but cheese sandwiches in it. Mozzarella was a very popular choice in our house.

Now, after looking at the “flying saucer,” I noticed the name was actually “Toas-Tito”, did a quick google search and found your page of RECIPES! AMAZING! I’m a creative girl, but I just never thought of using it except for cheese sandwiches. I am now VERY excited to be a little more creative with it.

By the way, at dinner, we had a debate on whether or not we should butter the bread or use non-stick spray. I did use non-stick spray the other night, and it came out really good. I guess it’s just a preference. I plan on experimenting some more!
