«toaster» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

### In the lessons

In everyday life and kitchen safety: never put a knife, fork or anything metal into a toaster, even if the bread is stuck, because you can get an electric shock; unplug it first and ask an adult; keep it away from water and do not leave it on unattended. In science, the wires in a toaster glow red because electricity makes them hot. Phrases: pop up from the toaster, toaster oven.
