    [:D] You are so right an egg will start to cook around 60 C, so we'll see, its 100 F in the shade right now.

    It'll cook. I'll take mine over medium.

    well, in the sun any stone or metal surface will get much much hotter than air temp, so your odds of cooking an egg are pretty good. I've seen the weatherman do it in Albuquerque.

    Growing up in southern Arizona, this was an annual event with the Mayor making a big speech. Took only seconds....to fry the egg, not the speech..[:D][:D]

    I know a dark colored car can cook a hand pretty quickly, so feel reasonably sure that a dark rock could cook an egg in short order.

    then the rock would be a short order cook?

    Local TV station did a story on office worker who baked brownies on pans in her dashboard. Then went down and gottem to give to all the office when they were done. She really had it down to a science. She said best part was the car smelled like brownies for long time after.

    I remember an article in an olddd Mother Earth magazine, where a guy made his rear bumper out of pipe(s) and had an exhaust heated oven in it. Said he could bake a chicken on a short trip.[:)]

    We routinely use the engine block to heat up MREs during hunting season. I remember seeing a recipe for engine-block chicken floating around a while back. I will see if I can resurrect it.

    Edit: Here you go!

    When I was little - late 40s, early 50s - whenever we would go for a trip, Mom would wrap a bunch of food in tin foil and Dad would put it on the valley of our flathead V8, and when we got somewhere it would be ready to eat.

    I thought it was a really cool thing.
