🔌 What Is a Tamper-Resistant Electrical Outlet? Answered by Luke Strange from Cool Hand Electric
If you've ever seen "TR" on an electrical outlet and wondered what it meant, you're not alone! Luke Strange from Cool Hand Electric is here to explain.
A Tamper-Resistant (TR) outlet looks like a standard outlet, but it includes a built-in safety mechanism designed to protect children and prevent electrical accidents. Inside the outlet are spring-loaded shutters that only open when equal pressure is applied to both slots—like when plugging in an actual electrical cord.
If a child tries to insert a paperclip, toy, or any foreign object into one slot, the shutters stay closed, blocking access to the live electrical parts. This makes TR outlets one of the most effective ways to child-proof your home’s electrical system.
In fact, the National Electrical Code now requires tamper-resistant outlets in most new residential construction, especially in areas accessible to children.
They offer safety without sacrificing function—and they’re affordable, too.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
