I guess I come from the old school on this one. Unplug it. I only plug in an appliance when it is in use, then promptly unplug it. You just never know these days!

I would not leave it plugged in because if lightning would strike at the very least it could destroy your toaster, the worst case scenario is that it could cause a fire. Why risk it?

If the toaster is not being used, it will not draw any current. Think about this.....The wiring in the wall is wired to each outlet and is 'hot' ALL the time....you would never remove the outlet from the wiring because you weren't using it......so why unplugg the toaster?
