We’re so glad you found your old Toas-Tite! I’m sure you’ll get a lot of use out of it since the originals are so well made. Unfortunately for who ever was selling that Toas-Tite they’re quite misinformed about the price of the originals. You can find an original Toas-Tite on eBay for around $20-$30 and you shouldn’t pay more than that since there is always a Toas-tite to be found online somewhere.
Some people online will try and sell the originals for up to, and over $130 but they’re way over pricing them and are just swindlers looking to gauge the uninformed. Not to go on a tirade or anything, haha.
Enjoy your new found treasure and let us know how it goes!

i just saw an article in our local newspaper that the original Toas-tite is a collector’s item worth over $100. Suddenly I remembered I had one in my pantry hanging there for at least 40 years.
I intend on using it again and can’t wait to try it as I am a much better cook now than I was then.

Congratulations on re-discovering such a fun camping tool! We have yet to take it camping with us, but we have tried a toas-tite over an open fire, and it was delicious! Hope you have a wonderful time with it, and feel free to tells us about your favorite recipes!

I have an original Toas-Tite that was my mother’s. I remember most fondly buttered white bread, filled with Velveeta Cheese and cherry jam with whole cherries in it. Just recently, I re-discovered the Toas-Tite, and it’s going camping in a couple of weeks. Utter joy!

In the late 50′s while dating my wife, we used to go for a late nite snack at a drive thru food service that went by the name “Flying Saucer”, in Rochester, Mn. They had about 6 drive up speakers for placing orders and a small lot to park in while you had your snack. They servered flying saucers sandwiches made up of pre-cooked hamburger, with cooked onions if you wanted. They were served in a paper sleeve so you wouldn’t get oily from eating them. Once you had a bite there was an opening to squirt mustard or ketchup into. They were fast clean efficient and delicious. The flying saucers were cooked in stand up electric fryers the approx size and the same round shape. In about 1960 the owner bought a Kentucky Fried franchise, probably a good move on his part, and the flying saucers of my teen aged years were gone forever. About 1 1/2 years ago for our 50th anniversary I started looking for one of the stand up fryers to no avail, this year I stumbled onto the Toas Tite name and decided to buy something. I just recieved my 2 Diablo sandwich makers, purchased from Amazon, and they appear to be good quality. They are teflon coated cast aluminum with a double hinge. I am going to try them out this weekend. Thanks for the informative site.
