What is the most unique form of heat you have used to cook a food?

Aluminum foil solar, like you did.

Car engine for a foil wrapped meal. Also heating a glass baby bottle.

Hot dog with nails in the ends, plugged into a wall socket.

Boiled water in a ceramic pot by putting hot stones heated on the side of a fire.

Caveman steak by throwing the steak right on the burning charcoal, not on grill!.

I have never stuck a turkey on my engine block. I burn things the standard way.
I once visited my friend who had four angry red stripes on his upper & lower lips.
Turns out he roasted a marshmallow over the stove with a fork. like ya do ;)
@Tropical-Hotdog in the outlet?? LOL

I thawed three slices of bread on my heating radiator this noon.

@rebbel I’ll toast to that!

@lucillelucillelucille Like this Presto Hotdogger on the cheap.

@Tropical_Willie – I’d wear a lab coat instead of an apron to cook those. XD

@Tropical_Willie I am totally loving the hotdog in a wall socket. I will have to save that one for the grandkids if and when. lol!

@lucillelucillelucille Don’t knock the marshmallow on a fork on the stove. Electric stoves present a nice challenge though.

@rebbel Inventive! That could work for thawing anything.

@Vignette -Sure just don’t engulf the marshmallow with you mouth and pull thescorching fork through your tightly closed lips.good advice, right there

@lucillelucillelucille My advice to you is do not use a plastic fork. You can thank me by sending me large denominations.

@Vignette -I’ll pay you in free-form, gooey plastic sculptures.

I coated my freshly hunted toddler in hornet pheromones, then let loose a swarm of Japanese honey bees. Took a few hours.

It was a great deal of trouble but one time we were camping and I wanted to cook some canned orange iced cinnamon rolls. I dug a hole next to our campfire, piled hot coals in it, then put the cast iron pot that I had put the rolls in, put the lid on, then piled more coals on top of the lid along with some dirt.
As you can imagine it was a bit difficult to track the progress of that great experiment. I finally decided to take them out…they were a little under done, but only just and they were really good! But, everything is really good when you’re camping.

Cooked a salmon in a dishwasher once. It actually worked!

When I was really little, we cooked on a wood burning stove and popped corn in a wire basket in the fireplace.
I have often put baggies of food in hot water to warm them up.
I used to own a solar cooker box that was fun to use .

@canidmajor Do you have them show up in your dishwasher every spring to spawn? :D

Damn betcha! Keeping the supply line active! :-)

@canidmajor I think a salmon ladder onto my stove top would be delightful!

I have done the egg on steaming hot asphalt… that reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode where the earth was falling into the sun or something. There was a radio announcer and he started panicking. “YOU CAN FRY AN EGG ON THE SIDEWALK!”

Once, at a family barbecue, I got the MIL to breathe on my steak.

@ucme The MIL will come in handy when toasting the meringue of a pie. Not sure about that flavor though.

@Dutchess_III Campfire cooking with a cast iron dutch oven buried in the dirt is epicurean heaven.

I’m less adventurous with my cooking. I have inverted iron and used it like a stove top.
Traveling long distance with an infant, warmed the bottles on the dash with heater going.

I love cooking over a campfire.

I once used a stove top.

I have cooked many different things on top of a kerosene heater during power outages.

Cooked fish with acid once.

@Patty_Melt Love the iron hack…may use that at work to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

@Darth_Algar you win!

@ARE_you_kidding_me Was there anything left to eat after cooking the fish?

@Vignette Oh yes, this method is called ceviche.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Oh…I have had that before! The word acid threw me off as I was thinking sulfuric acid the kind thugs use to dissolve bodies in bathtubs. Citric acid!
