Why does the fry daddy cord get so hot?

The Fry Daddy cord can get hot due to the high current flowing through it while the appliance is in use. This is especially true if the cord is too thin or not rated for the power demand of the fryer. Additionally, poor connections or damaged insulation can cause increased resistance, leading to excess heat generation. It's important to ensure the cord is in good condition and properly rated for the device to avoid overheating and potential hazards.
