In high school a few of us tried cooking hot dogs in a Ford Ranger. My buddy ran the truck hard in a low gear racing up and down hills trying to get the franks to cook. We ended up using a microwave at Safeway (grocery store) because the dogs never got warm.

Cooking on an engine is a waste of time. Microwaves use little power and they are much more efficient at heating.
