Make Oatmeal in the coffee maker:
Put two packets of instant oatmeal into the carafe. Add an individual packet of honey, an individual packet of fruit jam, and a pinch of salt. Put an herbal tea bag (e.g. orange flavored) into the filter basket. Pour 8-10 ounces of water into the coffee maker, turn on the machine, and the oatmeal will be ready in about 5 minutes.
Cook Bacon with an Iron:
Cut bacon strips in half and place them between two foil sheets. Crimp the edges of the foil sheets together to prevent grease from spilling out. Iron the bacon, opening the packet carefully with a fork every few minutes to check to see if the bacon is done and to let out the steam. It'll take about 10 minutes to get slightly crisp bacon.
Make Lemon Pepper Chicken in the Coffee maker:
Place chicken breast in coffee maker. Add enough water to cover about 1/4 of chicken. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Turn on maker and cook about 15 min per side. Add milk and butter to remaining liquid, allow to heat for about a minute, and add potato flakes for a quick side of mashed potatoes.
Make Sauces & Fondues in the Coffee Maker:
Sauces and fondues can be made by running water through the coffee maker and adding the heated water to a sauce mix. You should not run anything other than water through the coffee maker. These machines are made to heat water only, and the water comes into direct contact with the heating element. Sauces will burn onto the heating element, ruining the coffee maker.
I'm not so sure about these ideas GloryB...have you tried them?? Chicken will actually be cooked thoroughly?? Hmmmmmmm....I am tempted to try it, just to say I did it..but chicken in the coffee pot?
These are some interesting ideas....I'm not sure about the chicken in the coffee pot either though. I might just try it and see what happens! These are some very good ideas for cooking in a hotel room...that's always a problem.
The ingenuity of some people is amazing. I would never have thought of this.
