Yes, there really is such a thing.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270947558966 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? |

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

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. Cheri |

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. -- sf |

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! leo |

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. |

The key is to turn, turn, turn, often. Cheri |

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. Cheri |
