Commonly a toaster will have a small magnet as part of the time/colour mechanism.
A bimetallic strip gradually heats up, and breaks the electrical current.
If we use a simple bimetallic mechanism, then the breaking process will be gradual. If we add a small magnet to the system, then it will withstand the opening force of the bimetallic for a little, and then will snap open quickly.
If the breaking process were gradual, then there would be some arcing of the contacts - undesirable.

Does the strength of a magnet become affected when subjected to different degrees of hot and cold temperatures?
A. A magnet has a Curie Point, a temperature beyond which it is no longer a magnet. Identified by Marie Curie. This property is used in items such as toaster timers. As far as I know there is no low temperature limit.
What holds a toaster down?
A typical pop up toaster will have a spring loaded tray that you put your bread into, when you pull the leaver down it lowers the toast down so that it's closer to the heating elements. When the release mechanism inside the toaster is heated up enough it releases (which makes the popping sound you hear) and the spring loaded tray pops up with your toast.
