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?
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.
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.
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.
Generally I find the people who go all out (not overboard) on expenses get promoted before people who don’t. Shows a level of confidence that most management likes.
Another thing to consider: Are the ones that you’ve noticed get promoted tend to LOVE to say “yes” to management?
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.
Can clearly see the Salmonella grinning from inside of that...enclosure..
Pretty obvious this was satire.
