The average temperature inside a toaster when cooking depends on the setting and the type of toaster, but generally, it ranges between 300°F to 450°F (150°C to 230°C). Here’s a breakdown:
- Low setting: Around 300°F (150°C), suitable for lightly toasting bread.
- Medium setting: Between 350°F to 400°F (175°C to 200°C), ideal for a golden-brown toast.
- High setting: Around 450°F (230°C), used for darker toast or faster cooking.
The temperature fluctuates slightly during operation because most toasters use heating elements that cycle on and off to prevent overheating.
