for the fryer, i know most units come with a special cord attachment that comes undone easily if you trip or somehow hit the cord. it lets go easily so you dont send hot oil flying on a bad move of feet or hands.

just a thought
You are correct, fryers have easy breakaway cords, even with very short countertop only cords where an accident isn't very likely, but lawyers and stupid people I guess. I was lucky then to only have the shielded spade connectors. A butt connector snugly over the post probably wouldn't breakaway easily, it would likely snag and hold. The spade connector is basically light friction holding the spade against post. It breaks away very easily but provides better current draw. Not something a MFG could do but for me, it will work well.
