A car cigarette lighter, if it's on a 20A fuse, can provide 240w. I'm amazed someone managed to burn pancakes with so little power.
Assuming this happened.

Pros don't use the cigarette lighter!
I actually used to do something similar with my radio equipment. A bit much for the cigarette lighter (usually rated at 10a not 20). So I just parked the car, set up the aerial and wires straight to battery.
After googling i found numbers like 1200 to 2400 watts being produced by a car alternator. Just bridge the fuse and you can make pancakes in your car happy and without worries.
Your typical car is at the lower end, and don't forget the vehicle itself uses power, quite a bit of it in fact.
2kw would be commercial vehicles, four wheel drives etc that have a lot of accessories, dual battery systems etc.
So did the cop pull him out and shoot him in self defense for burning the pancakes or just shoot him because that is what cops do.
Who TF calls a griddle a "Hotplate"?
A hot plate and a griddle aren’t the same thing
I'm aware; I was envisioning someone with a griddle b/c that's what I use to make pancakes.
So, just to make sure I understand. You acknowledge there's a difference between a hotplate and a griddle. You read the post where they said the driver was using a hotplate explicitly, not a griddle. Yet because you use a griddle to make pancakes, you assume OP really meant to put griddle, not hotplate? Even though you fully understand and acknowledge the distinction between those two items?
I was drunk and falling asleep. Would you like to write a few more paragraphs criticizing a person you don't know online or are you done?
I'm trying, but I have writers block.
It's always cops vs Red Dwarf Yellow Canary Cures
Damn, not the pancakes!
No drinking and driving -> No cooking and driving
I am immediately reminded of this from my childhood.
Thanks for the video!
Wow, that car is pimped out with the best cooking equipment and even a milkshake maker!
He should have stopped and finished cooking before driving again. Shame shame, wasting good food as well!
