Yeah...one big, important step that the Lifehacker article leaves out is that you need to clean your toaster thoroughly before attempting this. If you have any crumbs in the bottom of your toaster, they can catch on fire from coming into contact with the heating element when you flip the toaster on its side.Last edited by MaggieTheCat; 03-19-2012, 10:22 PM.

I would never have thought of trying that. But then, our toaster is this monster 4 slice job, dunno if it'd even stay up on its side without help.
And now I want a grilled cheese sammich for dinner. But, I think I'll make it the traditional way.You're only delaying the inevitable, you run at your own expense. The repo man gets paid to chase you. ~Argabarga

I make cheese on toast under the grill in my oven. Delicious. I also have a toasted sandwich maker - it's like a waffle maker only it is shaped for bread and is still just as much of a bitch to clean. I smother my cheese in Lea and Perrins, mmmm. ^^
I heard that some Yank ovens don't have grills, integrated or otherwise, in their ovens...is this true?"...Muhuh? *blink-blink* >_O *roll over* ZZZzzz......"

Seraph, when I was in high school (late high school...old enough to know better), I killed our toaster doing the same thing. So don't feel too bad. That's at least two of us who have set toasters on fire.
Now that I'm all grown up, I don't even own a regular toaster. Just a toaster oven. Probably a good thing...Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Quoth Seraph View PostI've only seen ONE oven in my entire life that had a little mini grill integrated with it. Most of our ovens are just four burners and the oven part.
We had to have our grill element replaced recently, as the element had melted. As in, I dubbed it the 'Salvador Dali Grill'. The photograph that we sent to the estate agent and landlord asking them nicely to replace it apparently went round the offices going 'OMG look at this!! '."...Muhuh? *blink-blink* >_O *roll over* ZZZzzz......"
