I have a toaster oven that I used exclusively to cure Hi-Tek coated bullets. I bought it new about 5 years ago and it now has an issue. I plugged it in, turned it on and waited. The temperature stopped around 350 degrees but it didn’t reach the 400 degree mark so I turned the set point up ( a dial) waited and turned it up again. The setting is much higher than usual but it reached 400 degrees. I went to the store and got another thermometer but the issue is with the oven. I searched many places but couldn’t find a replacement temperature-relay (?) so now I have a new oven ordered and on the way.
The oven still looks new, functions, but because I cured the bullets in it would it be safe for someone to use it to prepare food?
Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
