Toaster Fire Prevention System
Toaster ovens have been known to start a fire in a home. While many heating devices such as hand held hair dryers have a temperature sensitive switch to prevent overheating, sometimes foods placed in a toaster oven will catch fire before the temperature switch pops open the oven door. The task will be to design a device to include in a new toaser oven to prevent the occurences of fires.
