SCP-_ "Who Wants Pancakes?" (Underscore will be replaced with SCP number)
Item #: SCP-_

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-_ is to be kept unplugged in a standard safe class storage vault locked with a password protected lock. Following Incident _-A, SCP-_ is not to be removed from containment outside of testing. Testing must be approved by at least two level 3 personnel. Measures must be taken so no staff accidentally touches the surface of SCP-_ while it's powered on. All pancakes made by SCP-_ cannot be consumed by staff before being deemed safe for consumption by at least one D-Class personnel. If deemed unsafe, pancakes are to be incinerated.

Reminder that SCP-_ is NOT a free pancake machine and should NOT be used recreationally. I can't believe I have to even put this reminder here. You are all adults! This is an SCP we're talking about! We have no idea how these pancakes are even made. They could be made of alien feces for all we know. Not to mention we don't want a repeat of the incident. -Dr. Walsh

Description: SCP-_ is a ██████ brand portable electric griddle. When powered off, SCP-_ does not display any anomalous effects. SCP-_ cannot be powered on unless plugged directly into a wall socket.
When plugged into a wall socket and powered on, SCP-_'s surface temperature begins to rise regardless of what heat settings its dials are set to. The dials seem to have no effect on SCP-_'s temperature and don't actually serve a purpose. Temperature peaks at 300° celsius.

Any item that comes into contact with SCP-_'s surface while it's powered on will instantly melt, turning into pancake batter.¹ There will always be 232 grams of batter no matter the mass of the item it's made out of. SCP-_ will then proceed to cook the batter into two pancakes. SCP-_ cannot be powered off or unplugged during this process, which always takes exactly 3 minutes and 32 seconds.

All pancakes made by SCP-_ have been completely identical down to a molecular level, and lab results show a resemblence to █████ ███████ brand pancake mix in terms of ingredients, however it seems as though eggs have been substituted for [REDACTED].
Pancakes made by SCP-_ seem to have the same qualities of whatever item the batter was made of, though these qualities are only exhibited if the pancake is consumed. They can be cut and otherwise tampered with in the same manner as any non-anomalous pancake. When put into a person's mouth, however, they are described as tasting like a pancake but having the texture of whatever the batter was made of.

Addendum-01: Recovery Log: SCP-_ was recovered on 07/██/20██ in Calgary, AB during the Stampede.² It was brought to the foundation's attention when agent ██████, who was on leave at the time, visited a church holding a stampede breakfast and witnessed a person's left arm melting after accidentally grazing his hand against SCP-_'s surface. SCP-_ was promptly recovered and brought to Site-██. Class B amnestics were administered to the individual who lost his arm, class A amnestics were administered to witnesses, and a cover story was created.

Addendum-02: Incident Log _-A: On the morning of 10/██/20██, Dr.███ took SCP-_ out of its containment and used it to make pancakes out of coffee grounds, which he served to the rest of the site's staff. Agent ████, who reportedly ate at least 7 pancakes that morning, suffered a heart attack.³ It was later estimated that one individual pancake contained the same amount of caffeine as 5.8 cups of coffee. Agent ████ survived and is expected to make a full recovery.

Addendum-03: Test Logs:

Subject: D-_-1
Item: One (1) litre of water.
Test Procedure: SCP-_ plugged in. Item poured directly onto surface. Item turned into batter instantaneously upon contact. Subject witnessed this process.
Result: Subject who ate pancakes said they "melted in [his] mouth", claimed to feel very hydrated, and needed to urinate five minutes after consumption.

Subject: D-_-1
Item: One (1) pebble (retrieved from the facility parking lot)
Test Procedure: Item placed on SCP-_'s surface. SCP-_ plugged in. Item turned into batter instantly. Subject did not witness this process.
Result: Subject broke his central incisors off and severely damaged his canines. Testing halted.

Subject: N/A
Item: 232 grams of gluten free pancake batter.
Test Procedure: SCP-_ plugged in. Item poured directly onto surface. No visible change noted.
Result: Laboratory analysis determined that pancakes contained gluten. Pancakes consumed by staff.

Subject: D-_-2
Item: 1.8 kilograms of █████ ███████ brand pancake batter, enough to make 16 pancakes.
Test Procedure: SCP-_ plugged in. Item poured directly onto surface. As item was being poured, it was noted that item's mass reduced significantly as it touched SCP-_'s surface.
Result: Standard two pancakes. Subject consumed one pancake and complained of a severe stomach ache.

Subject: D-_-2
Item: Seventeen (17) shards of broken glass.
Test Procedure: SCP-_ plugged in. Items placed on surface. Items turned into batter instantly.
Result: Subject's described the texture as "crunchy." Her mouth began to bleed after the third bite.

Subject: N/A
Item: One (1) slice of whole wheat bread.
Test Procedure: Item placed on SCP-_'s surface. SCP-_ plugged into an extension cord connected to a power outlet.
Result: SCP-_ gave no indication of being powered on. Its surface temperature did not rise nor did the item melt into batter.

Subject: D-_-3
Item: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Test Procedure: Item placed on SCP-_'s surface. SCP-_ plugged in and powered on. Item turned into batter instantly. Subject did not witness this process.
Result: Subject put one piece in his mouth then promptly projectile vomitted. Testing halted so vomit could be cleaned.

What the actual [EXPLICITIVE REDACTED]? Who's idea was this and why? If I had the authority, this would've resulted in an instant D-class demotion for all researchers involved.-Dr. Walsh

Footnotes

1. If an item is too large to fit on SCP-_'s surface, only parts touching and directly above SCP-_ will melt.

2. An annual fair where various pancake breakfasts are held around the city.

3. It should be noted that she had an existing heart condition prior to Incident _-A, which could explain why other personnel that ate the same amount of pancakes suffered no serious physiological effects.
