Warm plug and socket

[noidea27]

Hi.

We've got a double socket in the kitchen (this one - https://amzn.eu/d/aRSMzWm)

When we've got our Ninja air fryer plugged in and running at full whack (2470w) I've noticed the plug itself, that side of the socket, and the cable get warm (certainly not red hot).

Is this potentially an issue, or is it normal and expected considering you're pulling a significant load for prolonged periods (30 mins +)

The prongs on the plug don't appear to have any marks, neither does the socket.

If I fill our 3kw kettle and boil it on a different socket, I notice the cable and plug also gets a little warm, which makes me think I'm really overthinking things.

To add, this is a relatively new house (10 years).

Thanks

Cheers.

If it were mine, I’d turn the power off, open up the socket, and check for loose connections.

It’s probably normal, but it does happen that loose connections on the backs of sockets can go unnoticed until you connect a large load.
