Damn,another left on by mistake electrical appliance

[Bazzer]

I'm going out soon. I've decided to turn the leccy off at the mains. I've a feeling i'll leave something els


It doesn't have a thermostat, so it doesn't click on and off.(i think?)

Hmm, wonder what will happen with food in the fridge and freezer?

 

[Drago]

Just a thought...in all the excitement, has Accy actually remembered to switch it off yet?

I can’t be arsed to read 5 pages about a sandwich toaster. There’s some bloke outside painting a wall, think I’ll watch that dry instead.

8 pages now - but it's less a thread about a sandwich toaster, more a social insight into the impact of a deregulated energy market on the inhabitants of a Northern former mill town.
In many ways, the toaster is just a metaphor for other deeper matters.

I doubt it cost very much. Couple of quid max.

Average toaster = 850W. Cost of leccy, say, £0.15 per unit. On for two hours, ignoring ’stat on/off cycling:
0.85 x 2 x £0.15 = 25.5p

This is bad.How is the sandwich toaster today?

Still cooling down?

I went out today and returned 2 hours later to find that i'd left my sandwich toaster on. Unlike the kettle which i left on earlier in the year,this thing doesn't turn itself off,so it's been burning power for 2 hours. Any of you know how much that's cost me?

At least it hadn't been burning the kitchen down for 2 hours

If you put a toaster in a fridge and turned them both on, would the fridge stay cold or warm up?

You know this predicted super volcano eruption? Maybe it is something else, Accy's Breville toaster after being left on for a year?

 

[NorthernDave]

Don't worry - I think I've found a solution to Accy's problem...

 

[machew]

Which is the more powerful?

A toaster produces about a thousand watts of heat, and the cooling system in a household fridge can't remove heat that fast. In fact, since fridges are so well insulated, the inside of the fridge would probably get much hotter than the rest of the house,

We have a Breville which is excellent for toasties containing baked beans.

The George Forman is great for cheese based toasties and Paninis.

The George is also a lot easier to clean.

 

[Lonestar]

I've got George Forman's grill.Don't tell him.

Why would you put your sandwich toaster in the fridge? Why not save time and electricity by putting it in the oven so it heats up faster?

Putting it in the microwave would be even faster...
