The One Kitchen Appliance You Should Always Unplug at Night to Prevent Fire Hazards

Unplug the toaster every evening after use.

Regularly clean out the crumb tray to prevent buildup.

Check the cord for damage or wear and replace if necessary.

Keep the toaster away from curtains or paper products.

Bonus Tip:
This rule also applies to coffee makers, electric kettles, and air fryers. If it heats up, it can cause a fire—always unplug it when not in use.

FAQ:
Q: Isn’t turning it off enough?
A: No. "Off" doesn’t cut power completely—only unplugging ensures zero current.

Q: What if I use a surge protector?
A: Surge protectors help but won’t prevent fires caused by internal appliance faults.
