Or watch videos on how awesome the toasters of yesteryear were!
He's entertaining,but a little more research would have shown that radiant toasters are still common in catering. Those conveyor-toasters in hotel restaurants are an example.

I find entry interesting. But what happens if it short circuits.
Are there any tests which we can do on things to know that before turning them on?
If it short circuits, the circuit breaker on that circuit will open up and cut power within a couple of milliseconds, before anything has had a chance to catch fire. Though I definitely second the sibling comment about the multimeter.
I’m not so worried about a short circuit as much as putting a voltage on the case.

Yes. Buy a cheap multimeter and test current flow on cables.

There's also nothing stopping you from buying a circuit breaker, fuse-holders and fuses if you want a little extra safety.
(When you google for those, combine with the term "DIN" or "Rail Mount")

Sounds too risky to do on your own, without any activist structure behind you that can come to your help if things go south. At least prepare a lawyer contact.
> Knock on people's doors and introduce yourself
Haha, maybe in about 6 months from now...
Pick from your spices at random when cooking and resolve to use whatever you get
Schedule working sessions with remote coworkers where you share a zoom room but just work
Shave your head and donate your hair
Volunteer to speak with elderly (maybe by phone for now) and collect their life stories
Learn who is building what in your neighbor hood (e.g. https://dbiweb02.sfgov.org/dbipts/)
Picket things by yourself
Find a big mud puddle and jump in it until you look like a monster
Climb trees as an adult
Play music on street corners
Go to church and ask questions until you're asked to leave
Knock on people's doors and introduce yourself
Troll craigslist for free ceramics (plates dishes etc) and smash the heck out of them
Take apart your toaster and put it back together again, don't stop until it works again
