Yeah, I set the toaster on fire once also. I had read online that you can make cheese toast in there if you turn the toaster sideways so that the cheese is on top vs gravity. It might have worked if the toaster hadn't caught fire. I had to throw it out the front door into the yard
I'm actually kind of amazed that the failure mode for "toaster used sideways" is that it just catches fire. That's one hell of a design flaw.
Is it a design flaw if someone uses the toaster in a way it's clearly not intended for, and food touches the hot elements and catches fire?
Tired of burning your house down when you want to use your toaster toske something not toast? Introducing the toaster oven. For when you want to toast something besides bread.
