We sprayed the "pans" with pam or rubbed a stick of butter on them,used white bread and canned pie filling (blueberry was my favorite).Other times I used rye bread with Polish sausage,swiss cheese and a slice of dill pickle. Pepperoni and mozzarella work well also. I made a bread cutter from a piece of thin walled aluminum tubing just a little larger than the pan to allow about 1/4" overhang of the bread all the way around for a seal.This way you don't have to tear off the excess bread.Now if I can just find my Gooche-Maker in my old camping stuff I'll be ready it go again.

Thanks so much for your comment. :-) How cool it's come down through generations. Your son's Toas-Tite sounds absolutely delicious. We're definitely going to have to try it out. That’s so great!

Pending" Toas-Tite! I am just thrilled. My father (the youngest of three) was born in 1950 and remembers his mom making him sandwiches with it. I too remember grandma making me tuna, tomato, & cheese nummmer nummers! Now I am passing on the tradition to my son (15) who has decided he NOW likes cooking. Yesterday he made a chicken cacciatore sandwich with leftover chicken, pasta sauce, and parmesan reggiano cheese!!! It was awesome! It's the simple things in life that bring the greatest joy. Thanks for the site and fun info. Wendy 2/10/2010 –

Boy and I never would have thought of that. And you even get a little extra filling in which is nice. We tried it the other night and it worked like a charm. We'll be blogging all about it next week.

We paid $65 on eBay for one in decent condition with a worn box and booklet in good condition and probably about $60 for just a Toas-Tite without a box or instructions in mint condition. The average I would say goes for $35 but typically those are used. Good luck!

It makes the slices slightly bigger, but that slight difference may be just enough to help the slices fit the Toas-Tite maker.
