Anybody Ever Cook on Your Car Engine?

There was a cookbook that came out in 1989 called "Manifold Destiny". All of the recipes were food that was cooked on your car engine. Instead of cooking times, the recipes told you to drive so many miles. I have the book, but have never cooked out of it. Would you do this? Might work well on a road trip to Tuscaloosa for a game.



Here is a sample recipe:

Cruise-Control Pork Tenderloin
Cooking distance: 250 miles

"I like this one because it's soft and tender, and is a great treat for the end of a long journey (hey, I'm a Brit...250 miles is along way to me)."

1 large pork tenderloin, butterflied
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp dry white wine
1/2 cup red onion, minced
2 tsp rosemary (fresh), crushed
Salt & pepper

Blend together all of the ingredients (except the pork) and spread across the inside of the pork tenderloin. Close up the pork, triple-wrap in foil and place on a medium-hot part of the engine. Turn once (125 miles) during cooking.
