It would appear that the one unwise thing to do after rinsing out a toaster is use it.
...At least the scorch marks came off the counter top without too much sanding. And it is only a toaster, it can be replaced with little difficulty. I was intending to purchase one in town today, but discovered QVC were dedicating an entire hour to the wonders of bread heating appliances. Now I am at a loss as to why I never explored the avenues of home shopping before - so simple, and there is no risk of coming home with muddy shoes.
Besides which, there have been such advancements in the field of toasting that I now know it would have been foolish to buy an ordinary, two-slice, cave age contraption. Endless choice: artistic toasters that will burn patterns into the bread for you, six slice toasters, toasters with an added grill for the simultaneous preparation of meat or dairy products. I do not intend to make my purchase yet - buy in haste and repent at leisure - however the toaster/alarm/coffee maker is a leading contender. I am a firm believer in functionality.
I have no worries about waiting until I am certain of my toaster choice. Did you know it is possible to shop twenty four hours per day with this channel? I printed out their viewing timetable so as not to miss the 'houseproud' hour. I have my eye on a scrubsy mitt and mop-dee-doo. 5pm tonight, you may consider this a public service announcement.
I just can't get over how lucky I was to have been watching at midnight and got in on the special value item before it sold out. Who doesn't need more towels?
