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.
Wiring everything straight to the battery is a classical move for amateur auto electricians, I’ve done similar myself.
For clarification, my radio has inline fuses right at the start of the positive and negative wires. If you’ve ever seen wires melted into people’s carpet because they didn’t have a fuse on their hardwired car electrics… Yeah.
I’ve heard of truckers cooking meatloaf with a lighter plug, but it took hours and was well insulated. I’m calling BS on this one.
And a truck is likely 24v, so twice the power for the same current. It’s also not unheard of for trucks to have high power devices like inverters in the cab, so may have much more current and power available.
12v car battery and alternator is more than enough. The limiting factor is the fuse and/or melting wires. Thats why giant 1000w subwoofers use thick wire and larger fuses directly from the 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.
That is like the least obviously made up part. 😂
Most physically impossible, though.

They do exist, I have no idea if you could cook a pancake though.
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!
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.
The pancakes were so burnt the cop shot them.
IDK, driving while making pancakes sounds a lot like something a stoner would do.
It doesn’t discount the fact that the driver might be high. I’m just saying.
