The most important kitchen appliance to unplug to prevent a fire is:
🔥 Toaster (or toaster oven)
- Crumbs inside can easily catch fire
- Heating elements stay hot even after use
- Faulty switches can cause it to turn on unexpectedly
👉 Because of these risks, safety experts often consider it the top appliance to unplug after every use.
Also good practice to unplug:
- Air fryer
- Coffee maker (especially older ones)
- Electric kettle
- Sandwich maker / grill
