Um, no. - RuckusNutz, on 10/25/2007, -1/+14Horribly executed. Try not placing the food on the intake manifold next time (it is the coldest part of the motor), and try the exhaust manifold. It took 30 minutes for this wisenheimer to cook a sausage on his motor.
- billizm, on 10/25/2007, -0/+10When I worked in construction and we were out at remote locations, this is how we would heat up our lunch sometimes. Works great.
- djdole, on 10/24/2007, -0/+9Does your wife also cut up your spaghetti for you so you don't choke?
Real men don't have to rely on their wives to cook their meals, children do.
REAL men can cook for themselves. - lava, on 10/24/2007, -0/+9You've obviously never had barbecue. It takes a man to do it right.
- KSUdesigner, on 10/24/2007, -1/+10"It works like a slow-cooking microwave"
Like an oven? - inactive, on 10/24/2007, -0/+8"It works like a slow-cooking microwave"
This has to be the dumbest statement I've ever read. Because car engines you know, give off microwave radiation and cook food from the inside out. - SomeImagination, on 10/24/2007, -0/+8"Hey Kids!! Who wants car engine barbeque tonight?!!?"
- drmangrum, on 10/24/2007, -1/+7Reminds me of how my dad used to tell me how they would cook lunch when he was a state trooper. Keep the food in the engine compartment or use the radar gun to microwave cans of Beanie-Weanies. Necessity and invention or some such.
- MadEnvoy, on 10/24/2007, -0/+6"Do you know what's in those things?" - Goodness and bright shiny happy feelings.
- raeanin, on 10/24/2007, -0/+5dugg down for not liking sausage. Are you crazy? Beer brats anyone?
- tuxidomasx, on 10/24/2007, -0/+4i hate when people take amateur pictures of half eaten food. i'm sure to them it looks perfectly fine, but to me, it just looks gross
- staxofmax, on 10/24/2007, -1/+5Quiet! I can't hear the eggs.
- jd33, on 10/24/2007, -2/+6Hot lunch FTW.
- ttucp, on 10/24/2007, -0/+4How would you know what I would probably do? Have you actually traveled long distances with me?
- krnldmp, on 10/24/2007, -0/+4Those were the days, when you could actually reach in and put your sausage on a hot exhaust manifold.
Intakes are for sissies. - inactive, on 10/24/2007, -0/+4Why is this gross? The tightly wrapped tin foil will keep all contaminants out. Why must people put a stigma on something just because it is different or not commonplace?
Heat is heat. How it's generated isn't what's important.
Personally, I find it an amazing concept to be able to cook my dinner as I am driving home. Then as soon as I get home, I would be able to eat my dinner and spend more time getting things done instead of preparing food.
It's all about the multi-tasking! - moofree, on 10/24/2007, -0/+4Use cooking-oil-based biodiesel for an even tastier engine cooking experience.
- Nougat, on 10/24/2007, -0/+4"This can be a little tricky because you don't want to interfere with any connections, such as your brake lines."
It would be impossible for a sausage to interfere with your brake lines, as brake lines are metal pipes filled with fluid.
Also, pics of a girl eating a sausage. - tuxidomasx, on 10/24/2007, -1/+4"Heat is heat. How it's generated isn't what's important."
... so, would you happily eat a burger that was warmed up by being placed firmly between the buttocks of an elephant?
and dont you dare say "yea, if it was wrapped in aluminum foil" - munkeyhatecleen, on 10/24/2007, -1/+4Also, "manifold" does NOT mean "car engine". Sorry, toots.
- beedo34, on 10/24/2007, -0/+3in the post, they say that it's really good on road trips if you want to just stick something in there and get it later.
for the demonstration, they were sitting on the side of the road and taking pictures, but it's meant for when you're driving long distances. - catfish182, on 10/24/2007, -0/+3Dugg this for this phrase
"but they're easy to wrap up tight, so if you're into meat I'd suggest something in sausage-form" - sremick, on 10/24/2007, -0/+3Except the part where the can explodes because of the increase in pressure as the internal temperature rises.

There's 20 year old cookbook entirely devoted to cooking stuff on the hood of your car. Goes far beyond reheating hotdogs. - rezzy333, on 10/24/2007, -0/+3my dad used to do this on the engine of the bus he would drive for work in Toronto. As a kid I went on a couple shifts with him and tried it, and it was honestly good (from what I remember)
- shawnblog, on 10/24/2007, -2/+5I'm thinking, with the cost of fuel, I would eat it cold or make a fire. Or go to 7-11 and buy a hot one. Of course, I probably wouldn't eat a sausage unless I was starving and had no immediate options. Do you know what's in those things?
- daanishrumani, on 10/24/2007, -0/+3buried for being a re-enactment of this:
http://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Food-on-Your-Car's-Eng
This article was published before the one at howtodothings.com - malaak, on 10/24/2007, -0/+3makes me wanna stick a spud in someones tailpipe.... muhahahhahahahahahaaa
- KSUdesigner, on 10/24/2007, -0/+3Just get married. If your dinner isn't ready when you get home, you married the wrong woman.
- lilrabbit129, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2Its no worse than being next to the road breathing these things in. Plus the tin-foil, if wrapped well enough, should keep almost all contaminants out.
- johnyquest, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2Greenpeace seemed to get at your comment. Who knows the ***** they drive, but my exhaust goes out the tailpipe.
- lilrabbit129, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2Radar gun to heat the beans? That's pretty awesome.
- tuxidomasx, on 10/25/2007, -1/+3i see your point
- fissionignition, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2Car exhaust is better than any spice!
- swrlyhrly, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2I've done this countless times on my works semi's and everyone else did as well. We'd wrap whatever homemade or storebought burrito's and wedge them somewhere between the exhaust manifold and turbo's. It never tasted bad never had any kind of contaminate on it. It was f'n great. Work all morning and by the time you get to lunch, pop the hood and you got a badass hot lunch.
- ScarHawk, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2I've never seen this done on a movie....but when my family moved from NH to Texas (and back again a couple years later) we often did this for lunch or dinner. Its pretty economical compared to eating out- just get a big bag of frozen burritos at a grocery store, wrap them in aluminum foil and put them under the hood. I was too young to remember/care where he put them in the engine compartment, but we had a big van, so there was a lot of room. As long as you wrap it well at all, no taste problems either.
- FlyCO, on 10/24/2007, -6/+8real men don't cook using their 500hp V8 engines
real men don't cook - 9TailedFox, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2What if it starts a fire, that means no car or lunch.
- johnyquest, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2What is actually amazing, is how stupid, you are. Did you even read it? I mean, the article wasn't even good, and she did it wrong... but the whole point was IF YOU ARE ON A ROADTRIP anyways. Ovens usually don't fit in vehicles... unless you actually are a hillbilly, that is? Double wide, anybody?
- bcbrin20, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2doesnt anyone watch Home Improvement...ive seen Tim Allen do this on tool time
- Nougat, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2You know, they actually use carbon monoxide to make meat look redder longer.
- Nougat, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2"The point!"
You're welcome. - maybeinoregon, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2Anybody thats ever been in the military already knows how to do this....clear back to C and K Rations...
- starexplorer, on 10/24/2007, -1/+3You really don't know how long i've waited to post this link, Finally!

March 1991 - inactive, on 10/24/2007, -1/+3Engine compartments get hot, and there's all kind of grease and ***** around, causing it to evaporate a bit. Ever notice that if you open your car hood after driving that it has an odor? You're cooking your food in that *****.
An easier solution to this problem is just to eat sandwiches and fruit, etc. Not all food needs to be cooked. - johnyquest, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2LOL. "He" was a her.
- jlungu, on 10/24/2007, -0/+2No more of that nasty fast food! Cook a hotdog on your engine! erm ...
- CaviMike, on 10/24/2007, -0/+1"(Manifold means car engine...if you didn't know that, it might help explain things.)"
I wonder how many auto-illiterate people are going to use this little gem of information. -
