A British man named Alfred Cary wrote a book called "Car Grilling: The Complete Guide to Car Engine Cooking" in 2014 to teach people how to cook food with car engines.

According to the report, Cary said that he often faced difficult choices during his driving journey: Should he eat sausage, eggs and beans?

Or burgers and fries?

Or an expensive sandwich?

This got him thinking: there must be a better way to eat hot meals during the journey without breaking the budget.

He then told his brother, an engineer at a food company in London, about his idea.

His brother told him that Americans once used car engines as ovens.

The food is wrapped in tin foil and placed on the engine, using the heat generated by the engine while driving to cook the food.

Cary decided to give it a try the next time he took a long drive.

So he bought lamb chops, potatoes and some green beans from the local butcher's shop, wrapped them in tinfoil, put them on the engine of his car, and drove off.

After driving about 100 miles, Cary stopped the car and opened the tinfoil.

He said the lamb chops were piping hot and well grilled and said it was a very enjoyable lunch.

The report pointed out that after this success, Cary began to explore how to use car engines to make various dishes and study how to make them more delicious.

After a long period of practice, Cary wrote the book "Car Grilling: The Complete Guide to Cooking with Automotive Engines."

He states in the book that the main trick to cooking with car engines is to use good tinfoil.

To be on the safe side, wrap food in two layers of tinfoil.

The cooking time varies depending on the car model, so when you first start cooking with the car engine, try to install a cooking thermometer on the car dashboard, pass the wire connected to the thermometer through the car window, put it under the hood and insert the food

middle.

This enables precise control of the heat.

Cary also points out in the book that both gasoline and diesel engines can be used for cooking.

Many modern models have plastic casings, but the engines are still metal, so the hot spots are still there, just a little harder to find.

But the report also pointed out that Cary has never cooked with a hybrid car, but he said he has met people who use such cars to cook, and they warned that the cooking time must be extended.

A fully electric car cannot generate enough heat to be used for cooking.
