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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Fall is in full swing, and winter is creeping just around the corner. As the weather becomes colder and we hunker down to ride out the chill, there is one thing that we need to last these harsh winter days….and that my friends, of course, is pie. We are inspired to make a slew of [...]

One day, a boy and a girl fell in love with each other and with Toas-Tites…and shortly thereafter, Toas-Tite Recipes was born.  Then two and a half years later, they decided it was time for a new look.  Toas-Tite Recipes has gotten a makeover.  And we hope you like it! We’ve got a ton of [...]

Hello.  My name is Girl.  And I am a Toas-Tite addict. Over the last few years, Boy and I have been Toas-Tite crazy.  Well…we love them and sometimes I just can’t help myself.  I see a beautiful Toas-Tite on eBay and I must get it for our collection.  I’ve managed to temper my buying frenzy [...]

This tip is brought to you by OCBD, who commented on our Reuben Toas-Tite post. In several of our posts and on our Toas-Tite Making Basics page, we’ve mentioned turning one slice of bread for your sandwich horizontally and placing the other on top vertically (with your filling in the middle of course).  The reason [...]

Well, buying a Toas-Tite isn’t really a science.  You just have to know where to look. Boy and I have had a lot of luck on eBay.  We’ve added 11 Toas-Tites purchased on eBay to our collection and Boy’s aunt found one for us at a garage sale.  There have been a few deluxe versions [...]

“What in the bedazzler is the deal with the ToasTiteRecipes Gear page?” Have you asked yourself that question yet? Well…in case you have, I thought I’d share a little. One night, Boy and I were hanging around at home talking about Toas-Tites. Yes, it was a hot Saturday night. In any case, we decided…we wanted [...]

Well, Boy and I have had another addition to our Toas-Tite family.  We have yet to catalog all our Toas-Tites and write up a little piece about where they came from (although most came from eBay), but that will follow shortly. We got our ninth Toas-Tite two weeks ago.  (Really, it was number 10 but [...]
