Kitchen Appliances You’re Probably Using Incorrectly
All small appliances
Between your toaster oven, coffee maker, and standing mixer, you may have quite a few small appliances running every day. Leaving these plugged in not only runs up a high power bill but also causes a fire hazard. US fire departments respond to nearly 173,000 cooking-related fires a year, making it particularly important to monitor any active cooking processes (never walk away from an active stove) and unplug devices when you’re done using them.
