You Probably Touch This Kitchen Staple Every Day. But When's the Last Time You Cleaned It?
Now that it's summer, my toaster is working overtime-cranking out slices for avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches and late-night snacks. But as much as I rely on it, I used to forget one important thing: cleaning it. After enough use, I started noticing weird smells and uneven browning, and that's when I realized the culprit wasn't the bread -- it was the mess hiding inside the toaster. Crumbs pile up fast, and if you don't clean them out regularly, they can burn, stink and even turn into a fire risk. Worse? Leftover food bits can attract bugs, especially in hot weather. Luckily, giving your toaster a deep clean is easier than you think. It takes just a few minutes, doesn't require any fancy tools and can save your breakfast (and your kitchen) from disaster. For more cleaning tips, learn how to wash your bedding the right way and how to clean your kitchen in under 15 minutes. How to clean out your toaster If you use your toaster as often as I do (daily), you'll need to clean it at least once a week. If you use it sporadically, you can get away with cleaning it every few weeks or so, or when you notice food remnants building up. Here's the best way to clean your toaster: CNET 1. Unplug your toaster and do the usual upside-down shake thing over the sink. No, just shaking the appliance over the sink isn't entirely effective. 2. Pull out the crumb tray, if it has one, and then wash it with warm water and dish soap. 3. While you let the crumb tray dry, dampen a cotton cloth with a little white vinegar and wipe out the slots where the bread, pop tarts or other treats sit. 4. If there's stuck-on food residue left over from breakfast pastries on the heating elements, gently brush them with an old toothbrush dampened with white vinegar. 5. Wipe the insides down with a water-dampened cloth to remove any vinegar residue. 6. Give the toaster one last good upside-down shake. 7. Wipe down the outside of the toaster with another dampened cloth. Let the toaster dry inside and out completely before plugging it back in. It should only take a couple of hours to dry. For more household tips, check out how to kill mold in your washer and keep it away and how to clean cat pee from your couch. Frequently asked questions Can you submerge a toaster in water to clean it? No, you should never submerge any electrical appliance in water, as it can damage the internal components. How do I get burn marks off the toaster? If you've gone a long time without cleaning your toaster, you may have some burn marks on the top of it leaving an unsightly brown mark. To fix this you can make a paste of equal parts water and baking soda and while the toaster is still unplugged, scrub with a toothbrush or non-abrasive sponge. Afterward, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove the paste. More home cleaning tips

Nope, That Oven Drawer Isn't a Junk Drawer (Even If You Treat It Like One)
If your oven has a bottom drawer stuffed with random pans, lids and maybe that waffle iron you forgot you owned, you're not alone. For most of us, it's become the kitchen's unofficial junk drawer -- a hiding place for chaos in cookware form. But here's the twist: That mystery drawer might have an actual purpose you never knew about. And no, it's not just for stashing stray baking sheets. Depending on your oven model, that drawer could be doing more than collecting clutter. In some units, it's a warming drawer meant to keep cooked food hot until you're ready to serve. In others, it's a broiler drawer-perfect for charring veggies or crisping up casseroles. And yes, in some cases, it really is just storage. If you've never checked your oven manual (or long since lost it), now's the time to find out what that drawer was actually designed to do. Now, if you're scratching your head thinking, "Wait, what?" don't worry -- you're not alone. Most of us have never opened the oven manual unless it was to fan a smoke alarm. But fear not! We're not about to assign homework. No dense instruction manuals here. We're breaking it down for you in plain, delicious terms. Here's how to decode your oven drawer's secret identity and how to use it without accidentally slow-roasting your muffin tins.

Warming drawer A warming drawer is easy to identify. Take a look at the buttons on your oven. If one of them is labeled "Warming Drawer" then that's exactly what you have. Anytime you need to warm a pie or a loaf of bread -- or you just want to keep dishes warm while the rest of the meal finishes cooking -- pop it into the warming drawer and push the warming button. 2. Broiler Broiler drawers are typically found on gas ovens and are very shallow. Chris Monroe/CNET If you have an oven heated with natural gas, the drawer is typically a broiler. To be sure, pull open the door. If it looks more like a retractable pan than a drawer, then it's a broiler. Think of the broiler as an extra cooking area. It's best for toasting or browning foods like casseroles or breads. Any item placed in the broiler will burn quickly, though, so check on it every couple of minutes. 3. Storage drawer A storage drawer is usually much deeper than a warming drawer or broiler. Chris Monroe/CNET If there isn't a warming button and the area looks like a deep, empty drawer, then you probably have a storage drawer. As per a recent Reddit discussion, many people are unsure about what to keep in this space. This is a good place to store cast iron pots and pans, because the warmth from your oven will help keep them rust free. Just be sure not to store plastic items in this drawer, because they may become warped due to residual heat. Likewise, some older ovens have little insulation and may heat your metal cookware when the oven is on. As a precaution, always use oven mitts to remove cookware during or after your oven has been in use.
