    The secret to good toast is keeping your toaster clean, and it only takes a few minutes of your time.
    Step 1: Bring toaster to sink
    Unplug the toaster and set it near a sink to minimize clean up.
    Warning
    Never immerse your toaster -- or any electrical appliance -- in water.
    Step 2: Brush off crumbs
    Insert the brush into the toaster slots to gently brush the crumbs off the metal parts inside, moving from top to bottom.
    Step 3: Empty crumb tray
    Lift the toaster, remove the crumb tray underneath, and dump the crumbs into your sink.
    Step 4: Clean tray
    Clean the tray with the sponge and mild soap or dishwashing solution. Rinse and dry the tray before you put it back.
    Tip
    If the tray isn't dirty, just brush the crumbs off and insert it back into the toaster.
    Step 5: Shake toaster
    To get any remaining crumbs out, turn the toaster upside down over the sink and shake it a few times.
    Step 6: Clean outside of toaster
    Wipe the outside of your toaster clean with a little diluted vinegar on the cloth.
    Tip
    If any bits of plastic bags or containers have melted onto the toaster’s exterior, apply a little nail polish remover and then wipe it off.
    Step 7: Enjoy
    Admire your toaster -- it looks like new!
    Did You Know?
    Before electric toasters were invented, people toasted their bread over an open fire, using a long-handled fork or metal frame.

    I bought the toaster because my old one was not big enough for wide slices of rye bread ruclips.net/user/postUgkxE7HOOpW0eh4vbVGAB_r_cURwoxZxpZPA and it was wide enough for huge slices or, if the bread is narrow, four slices at the same time. It has a defrost setting which is great because I keep my bread in the freezer, and a rack that you can use to heat rolls. The rack will even reheat cold pizza! It does get hotter after the first slices are toasted, so for subsequent slices you need to reduce the toasting time.

    My toaster had only a slide tray rather than have a a door that could be opened like my previous toaster. So I took it to the bathroom and used the shower head to wash out all the crumbs. It took 15 minutes get it completely clean. I then let it dry out over several days. Now it looks brand new. It was amazing concerning how much crumbs were still inside even after cleaning the tray.

    Purchasing new is the only option. Once the crumbs start burning inside, they adhere to the sides, forming brown stains resembling rust that are non-removable and impossible to clean. It's better to opt for those inexpensive ones from Aldi/Lidl that you can recycle and repurchase if needed.

    there is a better way:
    cram the toaster with bread until you can't pack in anymore
    use an extension chord to run the toaster to the oven
    turn the toaster on, and set the oven to 140 degrees
    this creates a "slow burn", after 30 minutes or so the fire will have burned off all the excess crumbs.
    don't actually do any of this you'll ruin your toaster and start a housefire

      Turn on the Toaster and rub the insides with a fork. However, forks around toasters are dangerous, and you should cover it with a wool cloth
