Best kettle / Toaster (1 Viewer)

[Hooch]

Hi,
We are looking to purchase a kettle and toaster so would be grateful for some recommendations, thanks

 

[Riverbankannie]

I use a travel kettle. It has a lower wattage so less likely to trip out low amperage site connections and it is small so can squeeze it in drawer.
I have the smallest 2 slice toaster I could find for same reasons. Only one at a time gets plugged in.

We've got "lower" wattage kettle and toaster as well but also a gas whistling kettle we use on gas.

I got one of those toasting racks that you can stand on top of a gas ring and do four slices.

The down side being it drops burning embers onto your hob that stick and are a swine to clean off Not recommended

 

[Hooch]

Ok thanks

I think it depends on if you see yourself being on electric hook up all the time, we use a whistling kettle and the grill on our oven for toast, that way we can always make a cup of tea if we need to stop on a long journey.

We've got a whistling kettle for the hob and I make toast in a skillet frying pan on the hob too.

You can toast bread in a dry frying pan on the gas. Contains the crumbs

I like to use the EHU for as much as possible if included in pitch fee. Otherwise I will have pitch without electric and use gas. I did assume the OP was asking about electric versions as he mentioned toaster.

Who needs a toaster when you could be in France and have fresh croissants every morning?

there as been a few toaster variations for use on gas rings . have a few here . but a proper gas grill is the answer.
best not use campsites so no ehu.
and a nice shiny whistling kettle is a real uk item.
polish them always . it annoys the germans and the dutch.
its a game . play it but it does annoy them .
they like painted whistling kettles .
plus they cant have a gas grill , not allowed . thats why best not buy a foreign conversion .

We have one of these low wattage kettles for use when we have power on site and pleased with it. Lots of people sell this make viewed here

Really?

Whistling kettle and a toast rack that does one slice at a time really quickly. We used to use an electric toaster & kettle but it took so much room up on the service it got annoying.

They are very fattening you know.

Just sayin.

 

[vwalan]

Really?

yes its amazing how many comment about english having old fashioned shiny kettles .
even more if you have bound the handle with cord to stop the handle feeling hot.
always look on car boot sales for them . its like english heritage .
sounds daft i know but its like they never had them .

 

[Brian and Jo]

We just use the grill for toast and a whistling gas kettle

I know I am going to regret this but

What is a skillet?

Helen has no grill and I have had no toast since April. If a skillet will let me have toast I need to buy one before I return to France hopefully next week.

Over the last over 100 plus days away I have discovered that I only need 1 saucepan and 1 frying pan to do everything I need (I noted above doing toast in a frying pan). I am here for hopefully a week at the most and if a skillet is the answer to do my toast then I need to get out an buy one pronto.

Please note: This Ipad knows more about cooking than I do (something I think the ladies who have dumped me int the past never really appreciated), I know nothing about cooking at all. You cannot imagine number of baguettes I have got through over the last few months and I am getting heartily sick of salads believe you me!

I will take cover now, Clive
