Wear heat-resistant oven mitts when putting in or removing hot trays from the toaster oven to prevent painful skin burns. Never touch hot metal baking trays or internal heating elements with bare hands, otherwise severe burn injuries will occur.

Place 350g smoked beef short rib onto a metal baking tray and slide into a small toaster oven to warm through for 3 minutes.
