Customer Review: Ground Wire Burned - Toxic Burning Smell
Summary: 1 Stars
Toastmaster Basic Burner Buffet Range (single burner) version 2, 4/05.
I purchased this product 1.5 months ago. It worked fine. I would not be writing this review had it not defected. I used it about every night for 45 minutes for about 45 days in a row. Around day 30 I started noticing some foul smell during use. It was pretty foul, not the typical 'burnt toast' smell, but more of a 'paint on the burner' smell. I thought perhaps I had some invisible food residue on the burners. I gave the burners a cleaning (the lid does not open up very far for easy cleaning as advertised). Upon next use the smell returned. I couldn't figure out the source of the smell. I figured it was the burnt crisps on the bottom of the pan which I could not clean because the coils were in the way. (I never used chemicals to clean the burner/pan/coil). Well now, the burner stopped working during the middle of one boiling beans session. I opened up the pan by unscrewing the one screw. I found the source of the smell and the reason why the burner stopped working.
The reason is:
The electrical ground wire, insulation, flame retardant sheath, and connector clip (where it connects to the adjuster) was mere charcoal. That smell i was smelling was the toxic off-gassing of burning chemicals. The only thing left at the burn site was the flame retardant sheathing. Also, flame retardent chemicals are some of the most toxic bio-accumulating chemicals on the planet (eg. asbestos). It is sad enough these toxins were in the air and entering my lungs, but my food was sitting right on top of the off-gassing mechanism.
What in the world Toastmaster? Seriously, what happened?
I guess cancer is what you get when you play with fire (cook your food), back to raw food diet for me. Karma.
