‘It worked a treat!’: Man cooks pork roast in car during Australian heatwave, video goes viral

Dubbing it as an “experiment for fun”, Pengelly said he cooked 1.5 kg pork roast inside an old Datsun Sunny for 10 hours on a day temperatures touched 39 degrees. “It worked a treat!” Stu wrote on Facebook.

With a thermometer to monitor the temperature throughout, he explained that the old red-coloured car had tinted windows and doors, and big hole in the roof, which kept the car from getting even hotter.

However, not getting carried away with his new cooking accomplishment, he warned people about hot cars in rising weather condition. “Do not leave anyone or anything precious to you in a hot car, not for a minute,” he said. “And if you do see kids or dogs in a hot car, do not hesitate to smash the window to get them out as soon as possible,” he added.

Talking to Reuters, Stu said he wants to try cooking roast beef in the Datsun next. “A quiche would cook in 2 hours, I reckon,” he said.

Although most were excited about the cooking technique and shared they would probably do the same others expressed concerns that  it isn’t fit to be eaten.
