I've heard about this quite a bit, and we're certainly in a state that would allow us to cook in our cars just by letting them sit in the sun, however, if you ever wanted to cook on the engine of your car, here is the book for you:
Manifold Destiny
And, if that interests you, you might like to see some step-by-step instructions for cooking a nice tinfoil dinner on your engine. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Don't you mean cook on the dashboard of you car. I think you could fry anything just leaving it in the car for a few hours. |

I knew a BLM surveyor who lived on the frozen burritos from the mini mart. Thru one on the dash in the morning, by lunch it was warm enough (for him) to eat. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

I've actually heard of a book dedicated to cooking food in your car - not on the engine but in the cab. I've not been able to locate it though. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

How hard is it to get the odors from cooking out of the car? |

This is so gross but it's too funny not to share.
Once I went to a sushi restaurant and put my leftovers on the floor of the car. Unbeknownst to me a piece slid out the doggie bag. A few weeks later I found a fully cooked piece of fish. |

I've attempted to cook several things on the manifold of my work truck (/02 F-150) for some time now, but nothing has ever heated up sufficiently. Perhaps this book will illuminate the proper ways to approach engine cooking. _________________ Anywhere is within walking distance if you spend the time. |
