Or put the bread in the unplugged toaster and plug it when you want it to start. Or, if the socket is not at comfortable reach, use a switch between the toaster plug and the socket. Not tidy, maybe, but it works.
Agree. Toasters of all kinds say not to put fingers or utensils inside the unit. Putting things into toasters could make them electrically "hot", don't rely on the lever.
Toasters warn not to stick fingers or utensils inside the unit because the heating element is essentially just exposed wiring. The danger is clear: you could easily shock yourself.
There's no obvious danger caused by putting bread in the toaster and not immediately starting it.
It's the same thing, bread isn't conductive enough to shock you that's why it's ok to put bread in the toaster. Don't put pieces of metal shaped like bread in the toaster, don't put conductive things in the toaster like the piece of bread you just dredged in salt water.
>There's no obvious danger caused by putting bread in the toaster and not immediately starting it.
I don't get this. Is it an argument against the automatic toaster? Or are you advising me to keep my toaster unplugged until I'm ready to toast my bread because a toaster can be unreliable?
