But, as ever, YMMV.Joan

We had a little gas stove with a "broiler" on the bottom during this time; the thing would almost immediately incinerate bread, so my mother just impaled a slice of bread (through a crust side) on two meat forks and sort of "singed" it over the gas flame! My grandmother just slapped slices of bread on the top of her wood-burning stove and flipped them right quick before they charred. (Did you also have to squeeze the "oleo" package to distribute the yellow coloring through that nasty white glop so it would look like "butter"?)Joan
Re: Stove-top toasters Reply #3 – December 17, 2010, 07:04:58 pm Yahoo Message Number: 119130We use our cast iron pan to make toast on the stove. Just butter the bread, put it in the hot pan, put the lid on it, and watch out! It will toast fast! Flip, toast a bit more, and walla! Its ready! We really don't have room for anything we can't use more than one way and we try to use things that do not require electricity. Cast iron is heavy but it can be used either on the stove or in the oven. And we have I will miss my electric toaster oven though. Denise

Lazy Bones & Jiggs Joan and Steve, I suppose that dates many of us. My sister and I used to fight over who got to mix that yellow coloring into the "oleo".

No, I guess it's the same old stuff, just different bad guys.bumper Yonder[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
