Do you cook potato waffles in your toaster?

We need to get a new toaster as our old Morphy cant even toast bread evenly.

daughters do lol! I bought a Breville deep toaster (for Warburtons bread) and it works fine - if they set the timer right

Looks pretty good for £30 , hard to believe some toasters cost over a £100.

I never even had a toaster until the wife bought one... same for a microwave. I still don't use either, and just do toast under the grill. Waffles, when I have to, get done in the oven so they're nice and crispy.

In the distant past I used to cook potato waffles in a toaster. Fish fingers too (not really advisable).

I spotted on the box a couple of months ago, it said about toasting them, not tried it yet, did not feel convinced they would be as good

I did this years ago and still do before they added it as an approved cooking method . I also dreamt of lemon polos before they ever came out but that's a different story.

This was pretty standard when I was at uni. I'd like to think times aren't dark enough to go back to those ways just yet!

I've always done these in the toaster, goes back to when I couldn't be bothered to wait for anything to cook (I remember doing sausages in the microwave as well).

I haven't had them for a while now so next time I go shopping I might have to get some.

yes! easiest way, turn up to full and do twice, then get your beans on top

Better add a warning for drunk people that you don't mean put beans in the toaster.

This tickled me

Yeah, been toasting those bad boys for years. Didn't know they'd put it on the box as an approved method!

Indigo · 1 Apr 2020 at 13:01

Never put them in the toaster myself but will pick up a box next time I'm shopping to give it a go

i'd like to think cooking in toaster is far more efficient than heating up an entire oven too.

i mean 3 mins in a toaster vs an oven being on for 15 mins.

I've never had a potato waffle :eek:

Lol where have you been - staple diet when I was a kid.

Might try the toaster method, not had a waffle for ages.

They're designed to be cooked under a grill as well as oven cooked, so a toaster if big enough should be fine for potato waffles.

Want to live dangerously? See if you can toast some hash browns.

This is surely madness? I normally give hash browns about 40 minutes in the oven!
