Not on one, but might it not work actually if you put it on a non flammable surface and do it under a large enough one, in sunlight? I mean think about it. I bet you could. You could probably MacGyver that meal somehow if you were stuck out in the wilderness with a piece of game you'd hunted and big magnifying glass or a big mirror or something similar. Sunlight+glass=heat source, though it would be a lot easier of course just to find some dry wood, light a darned campfire with it and use a stick to roast it. In any case there are tons of ways to cook meat wonderfully sans a $149 pan!!! MHO but I'd far rather spend $149 on a lens than a pan, laugh...
PS: MY steak is in the pan, properly seasoned, waiting for me to cook it. I'm going to do it. Hopefully it won't bite me back!
