For the former two, I think microwaves and toasters are efficient uses of energy. Heating/toasting the equivalent with propane or some other fuel isn't worth the trade-off of running the generator for a few extra minutes.

But I guess it depends on how big you size your inverter, and if you intend on having a 2ndary power source.
