To safely remove food stuck in a toaster, you should avoid using a __________.

• A. Metal Object
• B. Wooden Spoon
• C. Plastic Utensil
• D. Glass Cup

Answer: (A)

Metal objects should be avoided because they conduct electricity. If you push a metal item into a toaster while it’s powered or even shortly after unplugging, electricity can travel through the metal and into your hand, risking an electric shock. It can also cause a short circuit or a spark that could start a fire inside the toaster. The safest approach is to unplug the toaster first and let it cool, then remove the stuck food with a non-conductive tool like a wooden spoon or a plastic utensil. Using non-metal tools reduces the risk of electric shock while you work.
