chomijiIf the top element of the toaster-oven-broiler is apparently not working, one should not touch the bottom element to see whether the same is true of it, as well.

But I'd been flipping the selector back and forth between "broil" and "bake" in an attempt to get the top element going, and the bottom one had actually got fairly hot, although not enough to glow, from that.
It's only a little skinny first-degree burn, but it's on the touching surface of the middle finger of my right hand (and I'm right-handed), so it's awkward.

In the end, it wasn't too bad - the element wasn't red-hot, after all, or I'd never have touched it.
