I agree that something is amiss here. If the
fryer were the type I use, a toddler would
have some difficulty in moving it off the
countertop, as there’s nothing a small hand
could get a grip on. Second, it would
basically need to be lifted. Third, the
outside surface would be hot enough that a
young one would recoil their grasp and let
go.(kind of like touching an oven door).
Just my opinion, as there’s been 7 grandkids
in the kitchen, while I’m cooking (cookie
time). Gotta watch them like a hawk.
The only stand alone fryer I have owned (20 years ago?) had a magnetic attachment so that the power cord just pulls off with the slightest pressure. Are fixed cord fryers even a normal thing now?
