"Dry fry" the bread in a frying pan with no oil, butter etc. Once the pan is hot it takes only a few seconds to toast one side, then turn over for the other side. Oh, by the way then remove, butter and spread marmite and enjoy

+1You want one of these;
You need to manually rotate the bread... but we had one on the boat for a decade... only stopped using it last year as it got too rusty...
Cheap as chips.
Works fine.

Same - just use a frying pan. I prefer olive oil to butter or marg, but that's just my choice. This is how we make toast on our boat.

This is what we do, but without the marmite of course

Does no one use an electric toaster?
I mean, I know when sailing not to expect 5* luxury but there is no need to live as if we are camping out in the wilds

That does assume shore power. There's a lot to be said for hot buttered toast with marmalade sitting in the cockpit in a sheltered mooring watching the sun come up!

I was with you until you said 'watching the sun come up'.
Hmmm, legacy of ten years getting up at 5:30 to be out of the house by 6 and into the office in London by 8... I wake up at 5am without an alarm clock! :-(

Not really, just plug it into the invertor or, if house batteries are a little low, start the genny (option B is favourite as I can run the expresso machine along with the toaster)

+ however many it is now for the Double Skillet
With only a two burner spirit stove to cook on it vastly expands the culinary possibilities on board Brigantia
Mind you, most of the time we're too lazy and/or cream crackered to be bothered and just open a couple of tins and heat up the contents!

great toaster on svb.de
There's a great toaster on www.svb.de. We've been using it whilst cruising the med all summer and it works perfectly. Bread is held horizontaly over the stove.
Be cautious about anyone who says "they just burn toast" as i'd imagine these are the same people who burn toast with an electric toaster anyway!

Shore Power, Luxury
We normally have shore power when we stay onboard to run the heater so we took out the grill and use both an electric kettle and electric toaster.
I think they were £12 for both of them but they only seem to last a couple seasons before they die.
You do get funny looks on a 23' boat with the toaster in the companion way but it works realy well.

Trouble, as I discovered today, is that these things put out a remarkable amount of heat in all directions! Had to stop before the toast was even lightly browned because I was afraid I was going to burn the door of the cupboard behind the hob...

Bought one of those as our grill takes ages to make toast. That thing was even worse!!! Slung in the waste bin.

Get an Aga. You can make toast on the hot plate.

We used something similar to this on the previous boat which had an Origo
http://www.force4.co.uk/643/Force-4-Gas-Ring-Toaster-in-Stainless-Steel.html
I can recommend it although you DO have to keep an eye on it.
The four slice type DOES NOT work on a spirit cooker and was thrown away after about 2 weekends.

Plenty of us appear to be in serious danger of confusing toast with fried bread, here! I love fried bread too...
My mother bought one of those 'Breville'-type sandwich makers, back in the mid-eighties. Deliciously effective, but a nightmare to clean. And the sandwiches...laden with cheddar, dripping with butter...the machine should have been sold with a heart-monitor.
My sister and I have creased-up with laughter ever since, whenever we remember the manufacturers' instructions. It conceded that sandwiches which weren't eaten when hot, could be reheated later, but would be not quite as crisp. In other words, utterly flabby.
Not that there was ever any danger of a toasted sandwich going cold, uneaten...
I love the idea of the scene described earlier here - electric toaster on board a yacht, requiring every amp the batteries can muster, and if they can't, then get the generator revving...let nothing stand in the way of toast!
