I got this at the weekend from go outdoors. You put in on the gas hob.
Anyone used it? Is it good? Or have I wasted a couple of quid?

It's not a waste of money,it's a valuable lesson in review reading If it is the multi slice one,never mind,most of us have tried it,and now we all have recycle bins there is always a place for them. The single version is ok,I've found.

If it's the one at £2.99, you should have kept your money in your pocket!
You can get the same thing in Pound shops. They're rubbish too!

They will work if you can get the base red hot, on either a domestic gas ring or possibly a two-burners-and-a-grill type camping stove, which rather defeats the object, or you could (not recommended!) try balancing it on top of a single-burner stove, preferably over concrete or bare earth rather than groundsheet or dry grass, where it might be OK until you need to remove one slice to turn it round!

I've found the single-slice folding mesh-type toasters to be quicker, more efficient and safer.

If it is the 4 slice toaster with a metal plate at the bottom and wires holding up the toast I am surprised they are still selling them as they are absolute rubbish. Mine went in the bin the same day I bought it. The bread goes dry before it gets anywhere near toasted...could do it quicker with a cigarette lighter!

However, if it is the one slice folding toaster that looks like a little grill pan then they are brilliant. They only do one slice at a time but they toast it so fast that you can churn them out quickly.

They are terrific if you like hot dry bread! Never managed to make toast on ours.

its just all about timing, you set it up, put it on, then go for a four hour walk.

Come back, turn the bread over, then have a four hour nap and hey presto you wake up to lightly toasted bread.
