Are appliances such as toasters considered a culinary utensil?

Kitchen Utensil appears to be defined as `A kitchen utensil is a small hand-held tool used for food preparation.`[1]. Perhaps you don't actually need to submerge electronic appliances in water...

Broadly, it's anything made from metal or glass that serves a food-related purpose, is multi-use, and comes in direct contact with food (or drink).
