darkness? why would that effect things?
It's usually the influence of the Darkness that prompts people to put hotdogs in a toaster. Don't listen to what it tells you about the bathtub either.
Iβm saying donβt use the timer, do manual control.
Ah, So set it to the minimum time and use a fork / knife to rotate it?
(this is not sarcasm / joke, I am genuinely asking)
Please do not stick a fork/knife into a bread toaster.
I've heard about getting electric shocks, but surely the coils inside are depowered after the toaster is finished toasting?
Oki, will stop using my knife from now on.
Do you have chopsticks, or can you grab some? Chopsticks would be better for a toaster.
Sadly, if I did, they would be made of metal
Please be cautious, keep us posted, and enjoy your meal however you may find it.
When itβs off, the coils are not live or else they would heat up.
Still never stick a metal utensil in a toaster.
Most toasters the switch does not engage until the bread carrier is pushed all the way down.
Set it for maximum but watch it cook and pop it out early when it looks/smells good.
Gotcha, Will keep this in mind then when I make my decision
