Another one.

Never trust a rice cooker. ?

Were the rice cookers male or female? Was he using a new muay thai training regiment with them?

Rotten humor aside, electric rice cookers always make me nervous. Water dripping off them, steam spewing out of them. They should be designed with some kind of ELCB built into them like most of the hot water showers are now. Ours runs off an RCBO circuit. Actually the majority of our house runs off RCBO breakers.

Little education on the subject wouldn't hurt either, but good luck with that.

Fitted an earth wire to mine,the wall socket is also 3 pin and earthed,

any metal electrical appliance should be earthed, here it seems,2 wires

good, 3 wires bad,
