Who TF calls a griddle a “Hotplate”?
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?
