As Australia prepares for dangerously hot conditions forecasters have suggested could break all-time temperature records, one man has proved the high heat can be harnessed in unexpected ways.
Stu Pengelly, from Perth, successfully cooked a pork roast in his car as temperatures in western Australia soared.
He reportedly placed the joint of meat in a baking tin, and did no more than place it on the seat of his car – a red Datsun Sunny.
After about 10 hours “It worked a treat”, he said.
But his experiment was about more than getting a hot meal without turning on the oven. Writing on Facebook under the heading “WARNING”, he wrote: “Yesterday, I cooked [a] 1.5kg pork roast inside an old Datsun Sunny for 10 hrs on a 39 degree day. It worked a treat!”
He monitored the temperature in the car by the hour and even at 7am it was 30C.
By 10am it was 52C and by 1pm it hit “a staggering” 81C.
