I've used quite a few toasters in my years (including this one), but don't understand why, as the toaster gets older, it tends to burn toast. I've noticed this from both cheap, and not-so-cheap toasters. Any ideas what changes in a toaster over a few years of use to cause this?
I've picked up these from hard rubbish a couple of times, but they did tend to burn the toast a bit; kind of wishing I had tried to re-furbish them, now knowing how the mechanism works.
- IncRnd 5y agoA toaster will often start to burn toast when the toaster isn't clean. When there are a lot of food particles at the bottom that detritus can increase the heat from the heating elements. So, the best way to avoid this is to clean the appliance.
- askvictor 5y agoThat's what I have been starting to figure, but while I can clean the bottom tray easily enough, there tends to be a build up of 'stuck-on' detritus in amongst the elements and other places that aren't really possible to clean without taking the whole thing apart.
