Carbon from burnt residue, most likely, and that could be quite unhealthy. Clean the toaster!

- crazygringo 5y agoThing is you can't really deep-clean it... it's not particularly dirty, I keep the bottom free of crumbs etc., but when oil droplets from food collect against the back surface and polymerize there, what can you do...? You can't exactly throw the toaster oven in the sink and scrub the inside surfaces with steel wool and Barkeeper's Friend under running water like you can with pots and pans. Nor do toaster ovens have a "self-cleaning" cycle where you try to just vaporize it all... they simply don't get hot enough.
