This is 100% bullshit. My mom lit the toaster on fire doing this with pizza

They said 90%, your mom was just part of the lucky 10%!

My partner did the same thing... with a quesadilla.

Were the sides of the toaster made of metal or plastic?

[–] Atrichum@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Both, I think. Iirc the outside was a plastic shell that clipped to the metal toaster. It caught fire when the overfilled tortilla started dripping cheese onto the heating coil.

I don't know if I was more upset about the fire, losing a toaster, or not having a succulent quesadilla dinner.
