Heat protection for underside of kitchen wall cupboards

Not being smart but we pull our toaster out when we ant to use it. Problem we have is under cupboard light heat up the bottom of the cupboard. Plays hell with the chocolate biscuits

There are various automotive heat shield products which you could silicone to the underside of the cupboard, e.g.;

Some Googling should find you something similar in the UK. I've bought some in the past, but cannot recall where from.

Well I have a very cheap and cheerful shelf above the toaster when the veneer starts to peel another bit of cheap shelving is just bolted on! I guess if you were really keen you could make te shelf of metal? Brian

We've been doing that but the toaster is then on the very edge of the worktop. It really only becomes a problem when toasting crumpets as they require a good deal longer than bread - well they do how we like 'em anyway. :-)

Use the grill

Cover the underside of the cupboard with asbestolux board

Wire a small fan in to the LED strip to blow the rising hot air around and dissipate the heat

I must confess to usually warming crumpets in the microwave, but on the occasions when I use the grill I do appreciate the extra crispiness.

Sounds rubbery ...

They are a bit.

But if I do them in the grill/oven they usually come out with a background hint of pizza or caustic depending on how recently I cleaned the cooker.

(I also found out last week that using the same jug for pasta sauce and white spirit caused trapped wind.)
