Hello,
Just changed jobs, bus/coach driving. All of my 9/10 hour shifts start mid day and i was hoping to find a way to keep some prepared food hot/warm enough to eat later in the night by putting my 'tea' inside the engine compartment of the vehicle?
Mainly wanting to keep things like normal good old english mashed spuds, bangers, vegies and so on in a 'warm' climate so i can eat later.
The vehicle i get assigned is the one i will have at the start and at the end of my shift. So i was wondering if anyone would know of a suitable solution so that i could put a 'device' to put my tea into at the start and keep moderate temprature unitll i get my break - which may be, at a train station at 11:00pm at night - everything closed.
So i wondered if there was a way - 'without diesel fumes in my mash' - to have a container that i could 'hang' to collect the ambient temperature, keeping my tea warm.
Please, no experts on 80°c + pipe, water, rubbish. Assume that what i want, is in mid air (may lean against something hot).
Just one container (with everything mixed in it), would be ok, but the outer should be the one i want heated up - i think.
There is tons of room to put/hang something in the engine bay. So when i stop, i open the rear hatch, and find my lamb curry and parsley mixed with chives, with a few
new England mashed pototes all ready and warmed up :)
My main concern of course is NOT having my food smelling/tasting of carbon dioxide.
I was thinking that i might need two or three containers to do this. So i thought i would post this topic and see what the experts think :)
As for size, i carry everything else (fork, spoon, fruit, water, flask, tea and coffee etc), inside the bus/coach. I only need a relativley small 500g butter size container size to keep warm.
Any help will be appreiciated.
Thanks,
Alan.
