GSI OutdoorsGlacier Stainless Steel Toaster | Collapsible, Hand-Held Toaster for Camping and Backpacking

I’ve purchased many things on Amazon but never written a review. I MUST RAVE ABOUT THIS TOASTER! It’s a genius design and works like a charm. Faster and better than my toaster at home. Just keep your eye on it and turn the bread once or twice and VOILA! In fact, I rarely eat toast for breakfast at home but I always do when I camp just so I can use this cool gadget. Thank you-Thank you!

The media could not be loaded. I love how compact this GSI toaster is. A great tool. I used it for the first time and got an English muffin toasted to my delight. Took a little bit to get the temp right. But on the low setting of my stove was able to rotate and flip the bread until desired color. Learning how to use different methods for tasks that used to require an electrical plug. Well made and comes with its own case. If you’re looking for THE no plug toaster stop looking. This one is for you. If you are a through hiker. Super light and flat. Works with GSI heating elements but also on a stove in an RV or off the grid living.

I love this for its compactness and ease of cleaning. I also have a box style camp toaster that I use at home in preference to a plug-in toaster, but this one is better for trips. It is not quite as good at toasting than the box one, and it only makes one slice of toast easily, but that's all I need on trips so it's great for me. Also, it is possible to melt cheese on top of a piece of toast on this device, as with a toaster oven. I really like toast, and I can't have even a little wheat, and wheatless bread really needs toasting to be tasty, so it's worth packing my own toaster when I know I'll have access to a heat source.Note that you need to calibrate the toaster for your stove, to figure out the right temperature and the time it needs to toast without burning. It requires attention and/or a timer once you've figured it out. I have not ruined any toast on it, but I have charred the edges while calibrating it. If you want your toast to be perfectly even, this is not the toaster for you. This is for good-enough toast using minimal packing space.I have only tried this toaster on gas stoves; I'll give it a try when I get access to an electric stove and see if it works as well, and next time I go camping I'll take it.One star off because there are a few sharp bits that could have been machined better; be cautious when folding/unfolding it. But it has held up to the light use I've given it so far.

I saw this product reviewed highly in the Boat Galley newsletter. It received a positive review there that I highly agree with. This toaster takes little space and works very well. I use it on a gas stove that burns hot, so it was on a fairly low setting. A diffuser for the stove (which we have, but which hasn't been used with the toaster) might produce a mellower result. We are still learning how to use the toaster correctly, the results so far are either a slightly burned slice (our fault, not the toaster's) or a nicely browned slice with white stripes where the rods holding the bread are. Moving the bread more might reduce the stripes.Pros of the toaster are:--Folds very flat for easy storing.--Produces better toast than other camping type toasters we've tried. We've tried a lot.--Reasonable cost.--Handle stays cooler than expected. It never burned our hands.--Nice carrying case.Cons:--The diffusing screen that's closest to the heat is rough and not easy to clean.We like it for our own boat galley and RV. In fact, we will probably buy a second one so we don't have to switch them back and forth.

It works great to toast bread over my backpacking style stove while camping. The stove tends to have one very hot spot, but the screen on the bottom of the toaster helps compensate for that and spread the heat.

Using in rv where counter space is limited. Toasts perfectly. Common sense use and you’ll get perfect results, move ur toast or bread around and flip. Can be done with bare hands. That’s all I do and it packs away neatly at stove side. Don’t expect a toaster that u can walk away from. It’s an active process but quick. Well designed and completely fits my need.

I use this every morning to make my toast.Living in an RV, a toaster on the counter is hugely impractical as it would take up pretty much all my counter space. I was hopeful this would work on my gas stovetop. And it does! With a few caveats...1) I needed to buy a separate diffuser to use with it before I could have good toast. I got the HIC Heat Diffuser, and it works well but I think that's what tore up my stovetop grill so maybe consider a different one. Without it, my toast either burnt or was just dried bread. With it, toast takes about a minute on each side and is very easy and predictable.2) If--or rather, WHEN--crumbs drop down, they will burn up and it will smell like your toast is burning. In the great outdoors, this probably isn't much of a problem, but in confined spaces it's not the greatest. Your toast continues to "burn" for the entire minute it takes to actually toast, and then it smells like smoke even as you eat it. I'm getting better at avoiding this, but sometimes it still happens.I LOVE the fact that it takes less than 10 seconds to fold up and put away. I got this for a portable toast option, and it fits the bill exactly. Takes a little more fine-tuning and attention than a regular toaster, but now that I have the hang of it I'm happy with it!I think my fiance is still afraid to use it though...

It works to heat up anything you need like cold pizza and yes toast. As a cubic mini wood stove owner this suits my needs perfectly. It's compact and lightweight, folds but most importantly the toast.... Consistent heat across for the perfect crunch edge to edge.

Good quality, compact and light. A perfect manual toaster for camping/hiking and also for any situation where you are unable to use a regular automatic electric toaster. A++

It's a toaster - it works fairly well once you learn how to set your burner. If you're using anything bigger than small sandwich bread you'll have to move it around for even toasting.

Perfect for small RV while Boundocking.
