Well… If you thought you’d heard of everything when it comes to auto accessories, think again. Britain’s Maplin Electronics now offers an In-Car Microwave oven.

The unit is fully portable, featuring a heavy-duty carry handle and a touchscreen LCD control panel. It’s powered by a standard 12-volt lighter/accessory socket cord and is claimed to be, “tough enough to withstand all of the everyday knocks that you can expect when items get thrown in the back of the car.”

So… If you’re tired of waiting for the right restaurant to come up, interchange after interchange along the way, or you just have to have your favourite dish on the road, the Maplin In-Car Microwave is for you! Be the hit of your next potluck or picnic!

The Maplin 12V In-Car Microwave is available direct from the manufacturer at around (US)$190 plus shipping.
