Re: Never Diss Your Toaster!


Eileen... I *think* what is being talked about is the bit up the top of this cooker...



It's just a grill, which you can slip your toast in to heat up. Again, no need to heat up the whole cooker for it...

I've only known one or two people with ovens like that... One of whom was a child minder, so I have some vague memories of toast being made on it.

You also get them with two compartments below the hob, and the upper one of those is often a separate grill...

Re: Never Diss Your Toaster!


I got it wrong dandysmom, I meant just the bit that toasts the bread is called a grill or rather a heating element. Sorry to sound confusing there.

Looks like you've got yourself a mini oven with a single heating element at the top which doubles up as a grill?
Handy little piece of equipment!

They are mini-ovens, bake, broil; I couldn't be without one. I got my first back in the late 50s; think I'm on the third now; they're pretty sturdy. They're very common here.
