Coffee Pot as Food Cooker

Wait...What did that say?

While the only thing that goes in my coffee maker is beverages (yes I have made tea in it, but still that is similar to coffee, right?) I have stumbled across a blog that talks about making food in a coffee maker.  This both disgusts and interests me…

Food? Really?

Many of the commenters on this blog said that during their Dorm Days they had used a coffee maker to make ramen noodles.  Here are some of the foods that Max Eddy says can be made in a coffee maker, and while I will not be trying any of them I just want to share and see your thoughts on this college dorm room phenomenon:

1. Oatmeal
2. Broccoli
3. Rice
4. Soft Boiled Eggs
5. Lemon Pepper Chicken
6. Fish Steaks
7. Chive and Butter Sauce
8. Chocolate Fondue
9. Chicken Pesto Pasta
10. Beer

Now while I would never cook food in my favorite coffee maker, I am a little curious as to how this would work. So instead of trying it i want to hear back from you… have you ever cooked food in your coffee maker? If so how did it turn out? Would you recommend this method of madness to anyone?

Broken Carafe

Not as much coffee talk today. Just a little venting.

Don't get me wrong, I love my cat I do. (look isn't she adorable):

But Java loves to jump on my counters.  And last night she thought it would be fun to push my coffee pot (just the carafe part) into the floor.  Well, tile and glass not play nice.  So now I am on a hunt for a Bunn Replacement Pot.  Luckily for Java I found one and have it ordered.  Even luckier for her, I have an extra coffee maker, its a little older and isn't necessarily my favorite to use any more.  But it beats not having my  morning cup of joe.  I just hope that the replacement I ordered is the right one.  It should be here in a week, so I'll let ya'll know if it works out for me.  Until then, hope each of you enjoys your coffee!

I found my Bunn carafe at http://www.coffeemaker-outlet.com/Bunn-Carafes.htm so if you need one you know where to go.
