At least the "dangerous" wires glow red, what twit would touch them? I have looked at my current pop up toaster and I can very easily touch the elements when it is on.

And there was a lady just down the road from us that got a shock from a modern toaster only a few weeks ago, so modern ones are no safer.


Those older ones definitely make better toast than this modern stuff, I remember having one many moons ago (also good for creating charcoal )
Bit O/T, but I remember the old open fire making good toast. Then again in Rhodesia ,the old log burner ( much needed on the edge of the Kalihari) turning out great stuff, and even the Brai ( BBQ to our OZ friends) used in colonial terms doing a decent job.
but I've had doubts about modern toasters when used with cut in half bread rolls. I've had no problems as I use a plastic implement to dig the toasted bits out, after taking the plug out of the socket.
