Is that supposed to do tha…oh shit!
So Eric is toasting his bagels in the morning while I’m getting a cup of coffee. We have a Black & Decker Toast-R-Oven (r) and it’s a newer model, maybe only three years old. My parents have one in PA, and I have one from my townhouse. In any event, it’s happily toasting away when suddenly there’s this intense glow from the toaster oven (it really was a pleasing, warm glow).
Eric: “That’s not good”
Chris: “I was pretty sure that it didn’t come with a light inside”
(unplug and remove bagel goodness)
It appeared that one of the elements nuked itself, which is odd, as I’ve never seen them sag as much as the ones in this one did.

The newer one has been replaced with my slightly older Toast-R-Oven. Mine worked fine from 2000ish until 2006, when it was retired after I moved out. It dutifully toasted well, and didn’t catch fire or emit any strange glows.
Oldie but a goody
