Cooking with lava



Forget cooking a steak on your car engine. The folks at the Dolphin Bay Hotel in Hilo, Hawaii, have a guide for cooking a game hen with hot lava. Yep, just wrap that bird in some banana leaves and cover it with a few shovels of 2000 degree molten rock. As anyone who's ever worked with pastry knows, you have to make a vent for steam, too. After about 45 minutes, smash the cooled rock with your shovel and pick the meat from the charred leaves. Oh, and wear gloves. The Dolphin Bay site even tells you where you can get special ones graded for the 2000 degree heat.
