An accessory (1) for holding toast, muffins and other food articles includes two sections (2,3) which are hinged along their bottom edges to form a carrier to be inserted into one slot of a pop-up toaster. The carrier is formed of two complimentary sections, each of which includes a handle (10) of heat resistant material at its top, a metal support plate (12) attached to the underside of the handle, a plurality of support wires (13) attached to the ends of the support plate, and a plurality of guide wires (16) also attached to the support plate intermediate the support wires. Both the guide wires and the support wires have circular loops (21) at their bottom ends so that a hinge (4) can be inserted within and retained by the circular loops. The hinge which is inserted in the circular loops consists of a hollow tubular cylindrical metal member (14) and a pin (15) which is inserted within the tubular member. The accessory is designed to overcome burns and shocks which often result when a consumer attempts to remove a piece of toast or like food from a toaster slot in which it has become wedged by hand or article of silverware. The carrier can be easily inserted within a pop-up toaster slot and withdrawn therefrom, and the handle is provided with finger grooves (11) along the outside portion thereof so as to facilitate the same.
