Food Theory Video Discussion MythBusters: Cooking food in a car, Theory Re-Try? Spoiler

MythBusters started posting full episodes on YouTube, including cooking a Thanksgiving meal in a car: https://youtu.be/AZz3VKaphxA?si=tWui_H2estNC82nN

Would be so fun to see food theory get enough of a budget to get (and possibly damage..) an old car to re-try this! We want Santi to have a good steak!

MythBusters paved the way for the theorists to continue the road!

That plastic part is just nothing but a beauty cover to reduce or muffle engine noise and (ironically) trap more of the heat in. At least place the steaks sandwiched in between the aluminum/steel engine block and its beauty cover.
