anyone ever cook something on their engine?

i've recently gotten into this trend of cooking sausages and shrimp on my engine block, i was wondering if anyone has any recipes, suggestions or comments reguarding engine-block cooking. thanks

I don't think that is healthy man, think about all the shit on there, dead bugs, bird shit, roadkill, tar, grease, oil. I think maybe you should purchase a frying pan or a bbq.

dude, i wrap it in like 3 layers of aluminum foil

I am with him, still doesnt seem healthy too me and anyone who constantly cooks on their engine block is a lil :screwy:

Yep been there done that. Hot dogs on the exhaust manifold. You'll do what you have to when your portable stove packs up and your damn hungry.

Nope,never tried it,never been for a drive in my oven either. :screwy:

I've cooked my fingers. By accident.

START SARCASM:

If you bothered to read the posts in the thread, atleast one answers your question. "Yep been there done that. Hot dogs on the exhaust manifold. You'll do what you have to when your portable stove packs up and your damn hungry."
:banghead:

End Sarcasm

well damn u have to be pretty damn hungry to do some shit like that :grinno:

I can't imagine where I'd be that I'd have to use my engine for a stove. Either I'm at home where I have stove, or I'm on the road where there are fast food joints (if nothing else) or possibly camping where I'd have a portable stove.

The whole idea just sounds :screwy:

I was and couldn't be bothered building a fire to cook 4 hot dogs.

:sunglasse I have a cookbook that shows how to cook fish in the dishwasher, in with a load of dirty dishes.


It's really the novelty... imagine putting raw food on your motor, driving for 15 minutes, then pulling over to have a picnic with hot food! :bigthumb:

Theres a guy on the food network that does all this crazy shit...


"When You Fish Upon a Car
Bob takes an urban legend and turns it into a dining feast, as he takes to the open road and makes a meal on his car engine. He makes fresh Succatash, 6 Cylinder Snapper, Drive-by Bruschetta, and for dessert Honey Dew Mellon with Mint and Ice Wine."


And here is for the dishwasher salmon...

Dishwasher Salmon
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Piquant Dill Sauce, recipe follows

Cut 2 (12-inch) square sheets of aluminum foil. Place 2 fillets side by side on each square and fold up the outer edges. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over each fillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold and pinch the aluminum foil extra tightly to create a watertight seal around each pair of fillets. Make sure the packet is airtight by pressing down on it gently with your hand. If air escapes easily, rewrap.

Place foil packets on the top rack of the dishwasher. Run dishwasher for the entire "normal" cycle. When cycle is complete, take out salmon, discard foil, place 1 fillet on each plate, and spoon a generous serving of dill sauce overtop.

I just found this too...


Drivers Manual
1 In preparation for your first car meal, you should start by locating your engine’s hot spots. Do this after any long drive by turning off the engine and letting the car sit for fifteen minutes. Then lift up the hood and quickly tap the various components of the engine block. On most vehicles, the hottest area is the exhaust manifold cover, but most engines have additional nooks and crannies that will generate enough heat to slow-cook your freeway fare. Stay clear of areas near any moving parts such as the accelerator linkage, belts, or fans, and don’t block any air intakes.


The sensible way (relatively speaking) to take advantage of the oven under your hood is to cook small portions of lightly textured foods. For this reason, fish is the perfect road chow. Before attempting any complex recipes, get to know your engine by cooking a hot dog (or tofu dog), the guinea pig of engine cooking.


When you are ready to cook: • Lay out 3 equal-size sheets of aluminum foil, one on top of the other. Proceed as if they were a single sheet. • Grease the top sheet with a small amount of butter or olive oil to avoid stickage. • Wrap ingredients in foil, then seal the seams by folding them over twice and tightly pinching them to create an airtight package. FYI, even perfectly sealed packages will leak small amounts of liquid.


4 Before placing food on the engine, loosely roll up a 6-inch ball of foil, set it on top of the engine, and close the hood. Immediately reopen the hood and use the squashed ball to determine the amount of clearance space between it and the engine block. Set food on the predetermined sweet spot of your engine and secure it with a ball of foil that is equal to the clearance space less the pouch size. If you are cooking on a slanted section of the engine, strap the pouch in place with additional aluminum foil bracing. If you are cooking in a nook or cranny, be sure that package is secure.


Make, model, speed, outside temperature, food density, and placement will all affect the cooking time. Most small packets of food should cook in 1 to 2 hours. To ensure that you have fingers left to lick at the end of the meal, always turn off the engine before loading, unloading, or testing for doneness.

oh lord instructions on how to cook on your engine... :shakehead
