He would make the ham and cheese sandwich and wrap it in aluminum foil and place on his dashboard, and let the sun bake it. Talking about a HOT sandwich. I have to try the banana boats. Yummy! They are so easy to make, and no messy cleanup. Thanks My brother did the same thing Anna, but he made his with ham and cheese.

Make your foil packets, then carefully place them on the exhaust manifold of your car to cook where the heat of the engine will gradually cook your next meal. No more pricey stops for tasteless fast food! We did this to make complete meals (meat-starch-veggies) on cross-country trips several times, though any trip lasting 2 hours or more will heat up a foil packet of hotdogs and can of baked beans. Cut up low-water veggies like potatoes into 1" cubes and add a couple of tablespoons of water if you're not also cooking high-water veggies like tomatoes. Cut anything dense (like beef or sausages) into cubes so it cooks thoroughly on a shorter trip, although we successfully cooked entire chicken breasts with rice and green beans on longer trips. Make sure food is thoroughly cooked same as a normal oven before eating! May take a bit of practice to find the "sweet" spot on your engine. Foil packet cooking is great for long summer road trips.
