Fun fact, if you turn a toaster sideways you can use them to make quesadillas.
This works about 90% of the time.
Do not do this. Toasters are not made to be used sideways. At best you’ll melt the probably plastic sides of your toaster, at worse you’ll burn your house down.
I didn't say it was a good idea.
it was an ideia nonetheless
At best... You'll melt the plastic sides of your toaster AND make a fine quesadilla.
Win in my book.
Why would your toaster have plastic?
The sides of my, and most budget modern toasters are made of plastic
This is 100% bullshit. My mom lit the toaster on fire doing this with pizza
They said 90%, your mom was just part of the lucky 10%!
My partner did the same thing... with a quesadilla.
Were the sides of the toaster made of metal or plastic?
Both, I think. Iirc the outside was a plastic shell that clipped to the metal toaster. It caught fire when the overfilled tortilla started dripping cheese onto the heating coil.
I don't know if I was more upset about the fire, losing a toaster, or not having a succulent quesadilla dinner.
And other 10% of the time you get to watch smokin' hot firemen
Good for reheating pizza too
