Toaster Oven Flambe

Posted by KDBlue, July 14, 2008

So Saturday night I turn on the toaster over to make dinner and I hear this strange bzzzzzzzzzzzz noise and then whoomp! my toaster oven bursts into flames.
Happily we have 3 fire extinguishers in our small kitchen (paranoid or just very prepared? I let you be the judge.) and the fire remained contained within the workings of the toaster oven. Now it's over 4 years old, and I had suspected it was on it's last legs, but I hadn't thought it would do this.

Which got me thinking: I can't be the only person this has happened to. Has anyone else had an appliance die on them- go out in a blaze of glory as it were?
