I have a portable battery station (BLUETTI) that can plug into a cigarette outlet and it can power 3,000w of cooking things. Maybe that part could have been left out of the story.

Yes. Yes it is.

Personal experience.

I have a 750w inverter plugged into my 12v plug, and it is absolutely more than enough to run the little 500w single plate burner I have.

I have used them together but I don't do it outside of camping when it's too rainy to use a fire. It takes forever to cook bacon eggs and pancakes on a single burner.

Yup.

You can buy portable frying pans that run on the 12V AUX power, about 180W. They get it hot enough to burn things. Although it takes 10-20min for it to reach that temperature, even with the lid on. And you can't just keep frying a bunch of things without letting it reheat.

I can pull about 300 watts (14.5v * 20A) sustained without the cigarette lighter fuse blowing

I have also seen eggs cooked on 65W CPUs

So could be feasible

It sounds almost like you’re doubting the word of a real life policeman. How unamerican. America was built on the backs of our police. Imagine the dystopia we’d live in, had Tulsa not been saved.

The Simpsons wouldn't lie to me.

But Energy is Power times Time. So could you just slowly heat up a plate which „stores“ the heat energy long enough to get hot enough?
