    As long as it’s a small amount of cheese, you can salvage the situation (having learned your lesson not to toast sandwiches in the toaster). Make sure the room is well-ventilated and you don’t do this directly under a smoke detector: turn the toaster on for a couple of seconds at a time so the cheese that’s stuck burns a bit, waiting until it stops smoking and then repeating so that it never catches fire or starts smoking out of control, until eventually the toaster can run without smoking.

      Or ask your parent/legal guardian if you’re finally old enough to use the stove like a big kid.

      Gonna take like 30 minutes to melt the cheese on a decent grilled cheese with the method you describe. Just use a stove or hotplate like a normal human being.

        That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about salvaging a toaster that you’ve accidentally got cheese in and can’t use anymore.
