To be fair there shouldn't be any voltage inside the toaster basket area when the toast has popped up. Unless they did something stupid when designing the toaster. And you can always unplug it before sticking utensils in there.
- contingencies 10y agoSure. To be clear the gripe is less about the potential for a shock (real or otherwise) and more about the clearly nontrivial frequency and irritation of the issue.
- biztos 10y agoI've had the same thing happen with toasters, and at least as of a few years ago it was completely possible for a piece of toast (of just the wrong size) to get stuck such that it not only didn't pop up, the toaster didn't turn off. So the toast starts to burn, you grab a knife, what could possibly go wrong? This happened pretty regularly as it was a European toaster designed for perfectly uniform extruded wonder-"toast" and I kept sticking hand-cut slices from round loaves into it.

- cbr 10y agoyou can always unplug it before sticking utensils in there Not 'can', 'should'.
