Long trip? Cook while you drive (duh!)
So while surfing the web this morning i stumbled upon an article that tells you how to cook food on a car engine. Of course!!!! We have all seen the Seinfeld episode but no one took it seriously… did they? Then again, What better way is there to enjoy a family lunch during that long drive for vacation in mosquito country. After all everyone can use some comic relief from Mom’s constant complaining, Dads erratic driving and your siblings hand held video game noise!
Enjoy this fresh view on how to serve up lunch a-la-car:

Hey There
What a great idea. After seeing this post, our family decided to cook our entire Thanksgiving dinner on the engine of our Ford pickup. The turkey took about 17 hours, and we taped the potatos on the dashboard with the heat turned all the way up. I have to admit it felt weird doing this, but we had so much fun. We left our aunt inside with the engine running and she complained about headaches, and nausea (but it was worth it). Dessert was a little harder because the inside temperature of the car only reached 120 degrees. The cake never rose all the way up, but for some reason it tasted amazing. Oh well, enough writing. Thanks so much for the idea. We are going to make it a yearly tradition. PS maybe we will do fourth of july underwater…

Hello Chris and Taylor,
I am so comforted to know that there are other food cooking enthuisiasts in this crazy world. Unlike Taylor, I have never cooked my Thanksgiving Dinner on my truck engine, though it sounds delightful. My experiece leans more towards the Johnny Cake. I like to cook the batter directly on the engine, 2 minutes on each side after the engine has been running for 10 minutes should do the trick. The final secret is to heat the maple syrup by haning the jar off the muffler, thought it can taste a bit smokey, it does give it an earthy taste. Well i hope you guys will enjoy this as much as we do. By the way Taylor, cooking underwaer might be a bit hazardous, be carefule.
