Alan:
Can you give us non technical types instructions on how to exactly hook up a wall outlet to your Cable Cooker. I use the 2.5 version.
All the best and hope to see you at RMAF.

Hi, David....to condition a duplex outlet on the Cable Cooker, one would simply require a second 15-amp IEC adaptor (part of the power cable adaptor set).One IEC adaptor would install into the upper left set of binding posts, and the other IEC adaptor would install info the lower right set....similar to the setup for conditioning power cables, excepting you'd be using two IEC adaptors.
For the duplex, you would connect a power cable's wall plug into the top receptacle of the duplex, and a second power cable's wall plug into the bottom receptacle. The respective IEC ends of the power cables would be connected to the two IEC adaptors, which are in turn installed into the proper binding post sets of the Cable Cooker. It's really easy.
Radio Wonder's set up is a little more sophisticated, as he fashioned his own adaptors for this purpose, but he's been doing this quite successfully for years.
With my special adaptor setup (for daisy-chaining multiple duplexes), I've been conditioning 4, 6, 8....even a dozen duplexes simultaneously for many years.
I should also add that, with this installation of two IEC adaptors, you also get to condition (or re-condition) two power cables at the same time. Very convenient.

Figures I'd make things more complicated than necessary.
But on the plus side, you know all those power cords that come in a component's box and are immediately tossed to the side in favor of macho audiophile power cords? I finally found a use for them. :)
Very good idea, Bill, and an excellent use for those generic cables.
I went in that different direction since I was conditioning multiple units on a frequent basis (for sale).
I now am able to condition the ground contacts (within the duplex and AC connectors) via a newer product called the Ground Breaker. It's a more sophisticated (and engineered) set of power cable break-in adaptors.
I used spare male AC plugs and UPOCC Wire to make Outlet Jumpers...
Hopefully the photo of my Cable Cooker explains any questions you have...
I use the "audiodharma GROUND BREAKER POWER CABLE ADAPTOR SET" with my Cable Cooker now and all my AC Outlet Adapters are "3Wire" to include the Ground on the outlet'''My set is a Pre-Production model...
