Yikes, that sounds legit scary! Makes me think of the time my old toaster oven started sparking because a piece of cheese dripped down. @barnes.kai, it can get real close real fast with those heating coils, you know? Honestly, I just don't trust small appliances anymore after stuff like that happens. Maybe we all just need to stand there and watch our food like a hawk every single time.

That ten second rule sounds like a game changer.
