We use a regular toaster. If your inverter can handle it, simple way for toast.

Try an ordinary small (2-slice) household toaster. Just make sure you find one which is within the capacity of your inverter.
Mine only draws 800 watts and you only need it for a few minutes at a time. Not too hard on the batts. It's nothing like running a kettle off the inverter.
Contrary to what some others have said, I think that electric toasters are really useful on board. As you have experienced, making toast on a propane stove is a PITA, and it also means more propane fumes in your cabin. Ick. Electric toasters rule. In my opinion, this is one of the classic uses of an inverter on board.

No, it's not the charing, it's the butter!

+1 on the toast and egg, but not so sure about the jelly and cutout! But I do love you Janet!

I prefer to not eat on an empty stomach ... (yes, you read it right). For me, toast is nice, but not a necessity lol.

With Vegemite on that ships biscuit you'd have to eat it fast as those weevils go ape-**** and fight you for it. They love it! Goes to show how good Vegemite is

Re: Toaster
They use Galvanized steel toasters in Guatemala. I looked all over for something stainless and there was not one to be found anywhere. I'm talking the kind you place over a fire. I suppose the zink burns off after a while but..

coming to a TV ad near you "weevils go ape-**** over Vegemite", sure to win this years award for best advertisement line
If you burn your toast and put that "stuff" on it; does it made the burnt toast taste better, or does the burnt toast make the Vegemite taste better?
I know that Aussies love their beer and that vegemite is some kind of beer waste, but .......
