It is very hard to time your trip so that you get there when everything is done. those who try it either have overcooked food or have to drive around for a while after they get there for the meal to finish.
in the end it works but not well enough to do it. Even truckers who eat on the road find separate appliances better.
It's very hard to get the car inside the kitchen.
My wife's family once baked potatoes in the engine compartment during a road trip, just to see if it would work. Enough fumes leaked out of the engine that everything tasted slightly of oil and exhaust. Car engines are much tighter now, but I'm sure you still get a similar effect.
What you can do safely is get a pack of cookie dough, wait till it's summer time(hotter the better), be in Texas, Arizona or similar state, put cookie dough on pan and leave on your dash board, go to work.
When you get out of work you'll have fresh baked cookies and your car will smell amazing!
Love it! A nice treat after work.
One of my co workers at Disney did this, I've never tried it but every time I walked past their car with the cookie pan in the windshield I thought it was brilliant.
Mythbusters has an episode (Food Fables) with Alton Brown where they cook a thanksgiving meal in the engine bay. It went surprisingly well, although figuring out where to put everything and the different cooking temps were tricky.

Thank you. Looks like Episode 196 from Season 13 Episode 7.
