Directions

This is a srping loaded device that connects the gas pedal with the carbureator or fuel injection system, thus regulating the flow of fuel to the cylinders. If it jams, either you won't go or you won't stop. Give it a wide berth! 2 Blocking the flow of air into the engine's air intake. Internal combustion requires gas, and air. Let your motor breathe! 3 Indiscrimate yanking on wires, and so forth to secure the food packages. 4 Placing, checking, or removing food packages with the motor running. Fans, and belts are fast moving parts that can bite you! 5 Foil wrapping foods with too much liquid.

Aluminum foil may make a wonderful cooking tool but it no replacement for a pot. One of the recommended locations for cooking on the engine is atop the flat fuel injector housing. First you need to check the clearance between the top of the fuel injector housing and the hood of the car. First make a cone of aluminum foil about 5 inches tallp Put it on the housing where you plan to cook and then close the hood.

Now lift the hood and see how much of the cone has been flattened.

This will give you an indication of the space you have available to use for cooking. If it is a very short height then you may only be able to cook flat things like fish fillets there. If it has too much clearance you may have to put extra foil *on top* to help secure the cooking package in place. You will have to look at your car engine to determine where the best places are for cooking. Look for spots that don't interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle. Stay away from belts, fans, and linkages as they pose special threats to your safety if they don't function properly. Foil wrapping techiques The biggest rule seems to be triple wrap everything. Be careful of pointy things like chicken wings and such that can poke through the foil.

One idea is to wrap the pointy parts loosely, wadding foil to make a cushion of the pointy spot. The two subsequent layers can be wrapped more securely. Leave enough foil on the sides to make a secure overlapping fold. You may need to use extra wide foil. Bring the foil up around the top of the food and make a flat, interlocking seam, like the ones on a good pair of jeans and tuck the excess underneath on both sides. You might try alternating the direction of the seams on each layer but if all your seams run on top of each other be sure to put the seamless side of your package against the engine for better heat distribution. It makes no difference whether you use heavy duty foil or regular, or whether you put the shiny side out or inside the package. Be careful when unwrapping your packages, you may have to re-wrap them if they are not quite done. Aluminum foil becomes more brittle when heated so extra caution is required. Do not cook things that include too much liquid as that makes the package easier to puncture. I suppose you could use a can or other simi rigid device that was in turn wrapped in foil (3 times). Do not try to boil foods, you will leave a trail of soup down the center lane <G>.

Lekewise don't think that you can roast anything to a crispy stage of doneness, the best you can hope for is a nice browning by minimizing the use of liquid, or by cooking it long enough that the liquid cooks away and leaves the surface to brown. What you can do is braise foods, cook them gently in a small amount of liquid, just enough to transfer heat and seasonings. CUTLASS COD SUPREME Distance 40-70 miles. 4 cod fillets 4 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon lemon juice At home or on the road, using 1 or 2 tablespoons of the butter, grease 4 separate sheets of foil. place a cod fillet on each sheet, dot with the remaining butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Wrap each fillet separately. Cook 45 minutes to one hour and 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets and the location on the engine. If you want to get a little fancier and do some advance preparation in your kitchen try this version. To above ingredients add: 2 tablespoons butter 1 small onioin very finely minced 1½ teaspoon dried tarragon paprika to taste At home, melt butter add onion, lemon juice, and tarragon. Arrange each fillet on a separate piece of foil and brush both sides liberally with butter mixture. Dust with paprika and wrap. Cook same as original recipe.
