Unplugging certain kitchen appliances at night turned out to be one of the easiest safety habits I’ve ever adopted. It costs nothing, takes seconds, and completely removes the risk of electrical issues while everyone is asleep. This simple practice doesn’t apply only to air fryers. Toasters, coffee makers, kettles, blenders, and other heat-based appliances all benefit from being fully disconnected when not in use.
Pairing unplugging with occasional cord checks, keeping plugs clean, and wiping away grease adds another layer of protection. That quiet moment in my kitchen didn’t make me fearful. It made me mindful. Now, unplugging appliances before bed feels less like a chore and more like a small act of care, one that helps my home rest safely through the night.
