The one George Jetson used to (in the future sort of way) take his family
to.

Yes, there really is such a thing.

Whew! Bidding is high! I suppose
it's nostalgia. I doubt there would
be much demand for this thing for
commercial purposes. What kind of
restaurant would serve Toas-Tite
sandwiches?

Sold at $910! Two losing bidders at
$900 and $879.99. Quite a lot to pay
for a sandwich maker.

I wouldn't have gone higher than $1 for that Rube Goldberg... I bet it
can't compare to the original stove top model, and they are still
available for not much money.

I'm still puzzling over who would pay so much.
Maybe if somebody like Nathan Myhrvold is a
collector, it would have been worth it to fill
a spot in his museum. Or maybe somebody like
Ron Popiel would want to study it for ideas.
If I were a Chinese appliance manufacturer,
I might consider copying it for reintroduction
to the American market.

I can't imagine an electric model would work nearly as well as the
original gas stovetop model. Can still buy a new one... and look

My favoite filling was cream cheese and lox.

Grin, how about American cheese on my own thin cut home made bread?
Slivers of onion from the garden?

Actually cheap white bread works best, good bread is too dry to seal

Humm, my buttermilk bread will probably come close.

I'd not use any special bread, Toast-Tites are much more about the
fillings. Plain generic cheapo white bread works best.

I gotta agree there. I have just a real old Toas-Tite with wooden handles
that you lay on the stove and cheap white bread works best IMO too. I think
they're wonderful and we had them often as kids.

I don't know what happened to it but we used it a lot when I was a
kid. We would lightly butter the insides of the aluminum so the bread
would form a hard clamshell-like crust as it toasted. I can't
remember all the fillings but a standby was Velveeta and sliced tomato
(I liked mine with Velveeta and pimento stuffed olives). I remember
my father would fill his with bologna or Spam, kraut, and mustard. I'm
almost tempted to buy one.

I'm tempted to but Mom was no cook so I have no history on this device.

Aluminium? Cast iron!

My only experience with it is at Renaissance Faires and I haven't been
to one in virtually "forever". They had lots of filling choices and
they were toasted over fire. I know I ordered the vegetarian option
and it was delicious. IOW, it's hard to go wrong.

So am I. I wonder how it would fare with small flour tortillas and a
bit more time. Even if that didn't work, I'm intrigued by the original
idea. I never heard of them till now. I have way more contraptions than
I need, but I may need this one. Thanks RFC!

I doubt it would work with tortillas, they are too thin, too dry, and
I seriously doubt they would seal. I tried them with whole wheat
bread and rye bread but plain cheapo white bread works best. Once you
try it you'll immediately realize it's not about fancy schmancy bread,
it's 99% about the fillings; different cheeses, different meats,
different condiments. The only enigma is deciding what to do with the
crusts that you break off after closing the device. It won't work
with an electric stove, you'll need a gas stove and it won't take long
to learn the heat level to use, medium-low works best, the goal is to
get the filling hot without burning the bread... and allow them to
rest awhile lest you burn your mouth. It's a great device for your
favorite pizza fillings... just be careful you don't gain forty
pounds.

It does work with an electric stove, but certainly not as well or quick as a
gas stove. The key is to turn, turn, turn, often.

Seems like a PIA... if you don't have a gas stove get a portable
propane burner.

How do you know when it is done?

By opening it and looking at it.

Easy... after about a minute it will be sealed and can be opened to
check either side and reclosed to continue cooking if need be.

Oh! I see) Is it a case of getting used to how long it will take, so you
know when to start checking it?

Yes, it's kind of like a waffle in the old waffle makers, you look, but when
you're used to it, you pretty much know.
