I saw a YouTube video of a guy cooking a steak by wrapping it in aluminum foil and putting the hotel iron on top. But an iron gets a lot hotter than that warming plate, plus beef is less bad to eat undercooked.
This would probably work fine, it might be a bit slow, but a coffee pot gets plenty hot to cook chicken. My main concern would be the lack of fluid increases the chances that pot breaks.
Sous vide then?
More like poached or simmered.
through in a bit of cream cheese and you could have something not bad
“Chunky” chicken soup in a can just costs a couple dollars, you could try heating that in a coffee pot. Add some fresh cherry tomatoes and canned fruit and you have a good meal.
The hot plate 100% has a safety switch that turns it off at a couple degrees above boiling. So it won’t break but it also won’t sufficiently cook the chicken with pieces this large…
That’s what freaked me out the most - how thick the cut is.
This isn’t beef. You can’t cook chicken medium rare and expect things to be okay.

I’ve made grilled cheese like this before. Works decently.
When the grind makes you risk food poisoning…
The Gervais Principle has labeled them as “clueless”
That is straight up Michael Scott doing business travel.
Do we really have to make a new label because of him?
Pretty obvious this was satire.
What a psychopath.
Can clearly see the Salmonella grinning from inside of that…enclosure…
When the company gets billed for replacing the coffee maker every time you stay at a hotel they will do something other than promote.
Super double promote?
Exactly.
In my experience, in the white collar world, corporates really don’t think twice about paying for this stuff.* In fact, they’d really prefer that you just use the company card instead of blasting stupid bullshit like this on social or making yourself sick. This person’s boss probably thinks they’re fucking insane.
*If you’re blue collar, you can usually get fucked. If they do much as buy you a Costco hotdog and soda, they’re going to complain and hold it over your head. Little Caeser’s hot-n-ready pizza is the definition of spoiling your workforce in that world.
This guy is management material. Which is to say, he is a dipshit.
Fuck this noise. I will use whatever I’m allowed to my advantage. Work trips are like mini vacations I don’t have to pay for.
I expense my cocaine and hookers.
I work for the state so I haven’t figured this part out yet. I’m open to suggestions 😀
What state?
Some are more open to it then others.
I got a $45 food stipend for lunch once. My lunch cost $30 (it was lunch AND dinner) and then tipped the restaurant $15.
I’m using 100% of it.
It’s excellent satire

Today.com - Man posts about cooking chicken in a hotel’s coffee pot — and the internet exploded
Now I’m curious. Would this actually work? Just how hot does that heating plate get?
It boils stuff so at least 212*F. You’d need a lot of time to cook it.
You could boil it I guess. Boiled chicken isn’t TOO bad.
The warmer plate does not boil things
Oh I thought it was like a kettle he was using.
I could see a fancy outdoorsy type of coffee maker being able to boil water. Collect your water from the river, boil it, and make some coffee.
It reminded me of this vid my buddy posted in discord the other day. 🤢

Here’s the problem: a coffee pot gets hotter when there’s water going through it.
The same heating element that warms the bottom of the carafe also heats a small section of tubing meant to boil water. This, along with a simple check valve, forms a bubble pump, which is how the hot water gets up to the coffee grounds.
There’s a thermal switch that allows full power when that coil of water is below a certain temperature, and when it gets hotter than that, it switches to a lower power mode, because with no water to boil, all it needs to do is keep the carafe warm. I don’t have the numbers in front of me but I doubt it would get hot enough to properly cook chicken.
Chicken soup it is
Actually I think that would work.
It does, there are multiple people on youtube that have effectively cooked soup in their coffee machines and used other appliances for food like the dishwasher for example.
Looks like it hits at least ~170oF, so you could slow cook tiny meals in it.
I mean, you can cook a chicken by slapping it…
I don’t believe it, and I am afraid someone will try it and get salmonella.
Dude, your company does not care in you in the slightest. ALWAYS take corporations and the government for every cent you can legally claw out of them. Because they will screw you over as hard as they can the second they feel like they can make more money and get away with it.
Nobody will remember them saving a few bucks. What they will remember are the sick days when this moron isn’t in the office.
