Short cord conundrum
It is probably not the fault of Amazon. Sometimes product descriptions are just odd. This morning we’re looking at a fondue pot used to melt cheese. Very ordinary and the only difference from the old style was this one used electrical heat rather than gelled fondue fuel. Safety. Here is where things get odd. The part comes with an attached electrical court that is less than 1 meter in length. I can hear you. Just get an extension cord. Except that the product description specifically warns the user not to use an extension cord. I’m left trying to imagine how this part is used in real life. Doesr the cook huddle in a corner near the electrical outlet and when everything is done does the cook fill the plates leaving the pot where it is. Not sure. After all, almost everything else can be used with an extension cord as the saying goes. And understand the problems of the cord being too long or the chances of tripping over the cord or whatever. But seriously. Imagine yourself gallon floor beside a nearby electrical outlet trying to cook your food. This is not designed for camping nor is it designed for those who live in normal sized homes. Maybe if you are housed like a Hobbit. Anyhow we have not completed our search and hopefully there will be an answer on another site explains how this odd appliance can be used in the context of an ordinary home. I am waiting to learn the answer. And I did mention that there was a time when you could simply heat apart using a small fuel burner. But now we are modern and we have electricity and somehow all logic seems to blind out the window. There you have it. My odd moment for today probably. The day is not over yet and I’m always ready for surprises.
