New Hampshire woman bakes cookies on dashboard of her Toyota
Sandi Fontaine bakes cookies on the dashboard of her SUV in Bedford on Wednesday.

BEDFORD, N.H. - Blistering heat was just what Sandi Fontaine needed to bake cookies for her co-workers — on the dash of her Toyota RAV4.

With temperatures soaring Wednesday, Fontaine placed two trays of cookie dough on the dashboard, shut the doors and retreated inside to her air-conditioned office.

"My husband wanted me to run some errands this morning," said Fontaine, who works at Baldwin and Clarke Corporate Finance. "I said, 'I can't. I'm baking cookies.'"

Fontaine first tested her dashboard oven three years ago. She said anyone can do it; the only requirement is for the outside temperature to be at least 95 degrees, so it will rise to about 200 degrees in the car. Temperatures in the area reached the mid- to upper 90s on Wednesday.

"Mrs. Fields has nothing on Sandi," co-worker Brian Champigny said of the cookie company.

Though Thursday was supposed to be cooler, Fontaine said she'll still enjoy the benefits of her culinary effort.

"When you open the door to that car," she said, "it's like, oh, my God. It's a wonderful smell."

Does anyone want to try doing this? :lol: I can only imagine how hot it was inside the vehicle to be able to bake those cookies! And yet, is it safe to eat it?
 
As long as the daskboard is clean, and maybe a cookie tray... heck, i'd eat one.
 
Yes!!! I did hear that story on the news!!! I couldn't believe that she was able to bake cookies on her dashboard! Call her smart, she saved money on electricity!!! :giggle:
 
You can do that with a solar oven which has special reflective aluminum that traps heat and cooks up food there. ;)

Ha Ha, Yes She did save the money and here's another advantage to it, She does not have to be hungry when she's on the road too! :giggle:
 
I will have to remember that one for when I am in Texas and I can have my wife cook cookies off the hood of my truck or my kids can climb up on Daddy's truck and put the cookie dough on the hood of my truck and have a cold lemonade n' cookies sale and my wife and I watch our kids from the porch. That will be awesome !!!! :cheers: Thank you Jolie_77 for posting that :ty:
