What is the outside of a toaster made from?

The outside of a toaster is typically made from stainless steel or plated steel.

Here's why:

* Stainless Steel: Durable, easy to clean, resists rust and corrosion, and has a sleek modern look.

* Plated Steel: Often chrome-plated, providing a shiny and protective finish. It can be less expensive than stainless steel but may be prone to scratches over time.

Some toasters may also have plastic components, such as the control knobs or the crumb tray.
