Detailed explanation-1: -Never use a metal object to remove food from an electrical appliance while it is still connected to an outlet. In the kitchen you need separate towels for wiping hands and wiping dishes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrical outlets The Reality: If you stick something in one of the sockets, you could get a nasty shock. The left slot is connected to the neutral wire, the right is connected to the hot one, and electricity flows from hot to neutral. Sticking something into either slot will disrupt the flow and send it into you.
Detailed explanation-3: -There is a small, but very real, chance that the heating elements are still connected to the “hot” wire of the plug. Thus, you could be shocked-possibly lethally-if your fork contacts the heating elements. Just don’t do it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sticking a fork in a toaster is a potentially dangerous practice. On its own, the metal of a fork is a good conductor of electricity and could cause a short circuit.
Detailed explanation-5: -Our bodies are excellent conductors of electricity so if you stick your finger in an outlet, you will get electrocuted.
