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).  Please note that Replica Products did provide us with their replica […]

Quick Tip: Roll out your bread for a better Toas-Tite fit

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 […]
