This man from Dundee came up with a practical solution to a daily problem, how can he heat up his leftovers while out on a job? By using his engine!

The clip, filmed on March 23, shows Steven putting his leftover Chinese food into a metal tin before placing it on the exhaust manifold in his van's engine to heat it up.

The 39-year-old explained: "Basically, I drive around the country for my work in my van and wanted a practical solution to heating my food up whilst I'm on the move. I work in some very remote locations. The warmest place on an engine is the exhaust manifold so I adapted a camping mess tin and trialled various forms of food in it."
