Question

I normally do, but yesterday it caught fire?

Answer 1

learnt a lesson lol shame man i hp u didnt get burnt.

Well truth be u shudnt be puting foil in a toster oven

Answer 2

You need to remember to change it out often. It will collect crumbs and oil or grease and will start a fire. I've learned by trial and error.

Answer 3

NO!!!!!!  wow......

Answer 4

Yes, I do it all the time.  I use it as a liner  and to wrap up fish or vegetables - maybe your foil overlapped and it was touching the heating  irons.  Or if you were cooking something oily, it may have dripped out and caused the fire. Aluminum usually dissolves when it burns. Hope this was helpful.

Answer 5

Yes - you can put tinfoil in a toaster oven (NOT a microwave) but if grease accumulates on it that's when it can smoke and catch fire.  I'd recommend using a new piece each time.

Answer 6

Yes, you definitely can (remember that it's not a microwave, which wouldn't allow for foil) but that it should be changed out.  Excessive build-up of crumbs, oil, and anything else which falls off your food (and foil!) could catch on fire -- or just be nasty.

Answer 7

i always do if i get a fire its usually from crumbs burning and not the foil

Answer 8

Yes, it helps to make clean up alot easier.

Answer 9

Yes, you can.  Change it out about once a week though, depending on how often you use your toaster oven.
