        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.

    If charging dinner to the company is going to tank your P&L, you’ve got much bigger things to worry about. And no, they ain’t going to promote you because you saved them $30.

      They’re not going to promote you specifically because you thought cooking chicken in a coffee maker was a good idea.

      Although, I guess you could kinda sorta do sous vide in one of you had the chicken in a sealed bag.

    Guys, this is satire. And old, the guy posted it for comedy some time ago. Not seeing anyone calling this out, so just FYI. No need to get angry over this.
