Abstract
A cover for a toaster capable of retaining flame from a fire within the body of the toaster. The cover comprises a first wall adapted to overlie an access opening to a toaster compartment within the toaster, the first wall having a plurality of slot-like apertures formed therein with a second member partially or fully overlying each slot-like aperture but being located in a plane spaced from that of the first wall. The slot-like apertures are disposed transversely to a longitudinal axis of the toasting compartment whereby flame within the toasting compartment is substantially prevented from passing through the cover but convection heat from within the toasting compartment is capable of passing through the slot like apertures.
