/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Can I get some advice on using an extension cord/power strip? I have an oddly positioned plug in my kitchen. It is higher up (bit above a normal person's waist I guess, it could be counter-top plug height) and its right near the door (apt entrance is into the kitchen).

I want to use this outlet for a microwave and a toaster oven. The problem is the proximity to the door means any table I have to put the microwave and toaster oven on has to be further away. The cord on my microwave and toaster oven is quite short. When I google it, I see lots of warnings about using extension cords in general. If you see picrelated I only need a feet or two really. Ideally I could get a power strip with a ~2' cord. But microwaves and the toaster oven draw a lot of amps. Obviously I would not use them at the same time. Is this setup safe? If not what should I worry about?
