(Greg Neill wants a power cord that will be impervious to grease):

Buy a replacement cord for an electric iron; ones I've seen are
a silicone material. In addition to being grease resistant, it
will have better high-temp performance.

The silicone ones are softer and flexible, and have that characteristic
silicone slickness; older hi-temp cords are black and stiffer...
