Road Pro In-Car Sandwich Maker

Posted by Joel Johnson, December 11, 2007 7:06 AM | permalink

This sandwich press is powered by the standard 12-volt plug most commonly found in automobiles. It may be dangerous, but who can resist a roadkill sandwich? A croaked monsieur if you will.*

It's $20 at the S King company and includes a five-foot power cord for back seat short orders.

Package it up along with the Auto Suck for when you're finished, *ahem*checking the oil, you can have a snack.

It "may be" dangerous, you say? Nope, I don't see how using this could possibly go wrong...

That'd be great for 4-wheeling trips..which for you cubicle slaves is somewhere between camping and driving.

The product page says it only draws five amps (it couldn't draw a whole lot more without popping the cigarette lighter fuse), which means this thing's going to be trying to grill a sandwich with a grand total of 69 watts. Only sixty, if the engine isn't running.

For comparison, normal two-slice sandwich makers (this one is a one-slice) have a power rating of at least 700 watts.

So even if this thing's very well thermally insulated, you can expect it to take five times as long to make a sandwich as a mains-powered unit would - which probably means about 25 minutes.

Since it only costs twenty bucks, I think it's safe to say that it won't actually be that well insulated. So you could be waiting an hour. Or possibly forever.

And if u use this too often in a small car without the engine running it will fark yer battery.
