No, it is not safe to put cling film (also known as plastic wrap) in a toaster or any other appliance that generates heat. Cling film is made of plastic, and when exposed to high heat, it can melt, catch fire, and release harmful fumes.
Using cling film in a toaster can cause a fire hazard, as the plastic may ignite or stick to the heating elements, leading to smoke or flames. Additionally, the fumes released when plastic melts can be toxic and pose a health risk if inhaled.
Toasters are designed to work with dry, solid food items like bread, bagels, or frozen items. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines provided with the toaster to ensure proper and safe use of the appliance.
If you need to cover food while using a toaster oven or microwave, use microwave-safe or oven-safe covers or containers made explicitly for that purpose. Always prioritize safety when using kitchen appliances and avoid using any materials that are not intended for use with them.
