Toaster Oven Cooks Pizza in the Car

The Porta-Pizza toaster oven and pizza cooker sounds like one of those gifts that would be really hard to feign enthusiasm about on Christmas morning:

“Oh … wow! It’s a … um … a toaster oven for … my car? For my car! Wow. That’s just, um, so … uh … cool.”

Yes, for $36 you too can cook a pizza on your next road trip, or perhaps whip up some toast while stuck in traffic on the way to work. Maybe a breakfast pie? (Most people like cold pizza in the morning, don’t they?)

With an adaptor that plugs right into any 12-volt cigarette lighter and a boxy oven that can be positioned on the passenger seat (we guess), what’s not to love about cooking pizza on the road?

Perhaps we could see the utility if one were tailgating, but honestly, pizza places have these guys that just drive around and take pizza to people. Maybe Christmas morning would be better served by a few Pizza Hut coupons.

Perfect for those who want their car to smell like a pizzeria

Who doesn't!?

Yum, an even tastier way to distract even more drivers!

I smell a pizza-oven-burn lawsuit already.

My state just made talking on a cell phone while driving illegal.

Where on the scale of distractions while driving do the following fit in?

1. Unwrapping the frozen pie.
2. Loading it while oven balanced on edge of passenger seat.
3. Slicing hot pizza
4. Retrieving steaming hot cheese from crotch.

That's what is wrong with these overly specific laws. A generic driving while distracted statute would make better sense. Because as written, talking on phone illegal, making pizza legal.

Personally, I've always kept a charcoal grill on the passenger seat in my car. Nothing beats grillin' burgers while cruising down I78 at 75mph.

One of the nice things about charcoal grilling in the car is that you never run out of charcoal lighter fluid. Just siphon some gas from the tank and you're good to go. While this occasionally creates an explosion when I light the grill and a visit to the hospital burn unit, I feel that a nice juicy burger is worth it.

Sheesh, what stupid ideas will they think of next? I can't think of any reason why I would ever need to cook a pizza in my car. If I really want pizza that bad, I'll just stop off at Papa John's or Pizza Hut. I just can't wait to see some idiot businessman with a toaster on the passenger seat of his Mercedes, rolling down the freeway. On the bright side, it'll give him something to do, since cell phones are illegal now, and he'll be bored while sitting at red lights.

No need to complain about the gadgets they invent for vehicles. The most dangerous thing in the automobile is the person behind the wheel that's inattentively driving, speeding, lane changing without blinker,etc..... Cooking Pizza is minor....
