How can unpluggingg all small kitchen appliances after every use possibly lead to an accident?
Some newer appliances tend to be more safe than previous. There have been instances where plugged in toasters and coffee pots have caused house fires due to them “turning themselves on” through a short. If they accidentally get liquid spilt on them when plugged into a regular wall outlet you risk a shock hazard. Newer building codes require ground fault interrupt outlets to be installed in kitchen locations for this reason. Ground fault receptacles sense the short from the liquid and through a trip circuit in it renders the recpetacle into a short mode that trips a resettable breaker. This stops the flow of electricity to the appliance.
