Plugue muito quente para tocar depois de usar a torradeira

Should the outlet be replaced?

Sim.

I am an intensely curious person and I absolutely worship the scientific method, but even I would refrain from trying to find out exactly what the problem is here. It is a bad idea to use one's domicile infrastructure as an experimental laboratory.

The heat could be coming from a poor connection between the wires and the receptacle, or a poor contact between the receptacle slots and the plug tines. But whatever the problem, it's certainly confined to the receptacle. Just bin it.

Replace It and Do It Right

Since the toaster works OK elsewhere, the problem is somewhere in the receptacle. Truly diagnosing it would take as long ou mais than simply replacing it, and it isn't worth the $2 that a basic replacement will cost.

GFCI

In a 35-year old house with original wiring, you most likely do NÃO have GFCI circuits or receptacles installed. While you could argue about an absolute requerimento for a straight replacement, the kitchen is one of those places where GFCI absolutely makes sense - simply too easy to have a serious safety problem that a GFCI will protect. So unless you have upgraded your breakers to include GFCI, replace the bad receptacle with one that includes GFCI protection. That will cost you more than the basic $2, but it is well worth it, particularly if some day you have a problem with that toaster where the toaster is the problem instead of the outlet and your hands are wet or you (foolishly, but people do it) get toast stuck and try to get it out without unplugging the toaster first, etc.

Note that there is one possible complication with installing a GFCI receptacle. If you currently have power chaining from one receptacle to the next, which is quite common (and perfectly safe), and the existing receptacle has one set of wires on each side of the receptacle, you can't simply copy the configuration to a GFCI receptacle. On a GFCI receptacle, one side is LINHA (must be connected to incoming power) and the other is CARGA (for connecting to additional receptacles). If you are not 100% sure then you should connect all the blacks (hot) together and all the whites (neutral) together and use a pigtail (a short piece of matching wire) for each one to just the LINHA side of the new receptacle.

Use the screw terminals on the sides rather than the "back stab" connections in the back. Much easier for a novice to make sure you have a good connection and less likely to have a problem in the future like the problem you have right now.

With screw terminals, not backstabs? Check the torque on the screws. I bet one is loosey goosey. If not, something is wrong with the receptacle - probably spring contact with the plug prongs, or something cracking.

Don't fool around with it; this is either a narrowed current path or series arcing, and either one can start a fire. A quality receptacle is $3.

If the copper is pitted (from arcing) or corroded, you might clean it up with a file, but I would not worry too much. Let the torque do its job.

On GFCI, that is a good thing but I would not impulsively slap a GFCI receptacle here without a bit of planning. Especially do not slap any wires on the LOAD terminals without a good understanding of the kitchen wiring. LOAD terminals are not thru terminals, they do something special.

GFCIs don't solve the problem you just had, they protect humans from shock. AFCIs help with the problem you might have had, but they install at the breaker.

I find older outlets the spring tension that retains the plug below spec. Yes you should replace the outlet but don't get a 98cent special get a spec grade in this case you get what you pay for. I have a withdraw scale that measures the force on the plug blades the cheapies even new do not hold as well as spec grade and I believe this is the source of the heat.
