In the 1970’s and 1980’s there were several books the either had characters that did it or promoted it.
Why is there no cooking tray in my new car’s engine bay?
Is it dangerous? (It would be less physically dangerous if there was a specific spot for it.)
Well your post mentions the engine bay… Doesn’t sound like a good idea anyway, imagine getting in the car and still having last week’s food smell stuck to the interiors, or having some food or the entire pot fall on the floor…
