Ever thought about making ramen in your hotel's coffee maker? Well, this lady cooks everything in her coffee maker (also available in svenska).
well, maybe not your hotel's coffee maker, at least

I remember once AskMe helped someone make french toast in a toaster oven. That was a pretty good day.

Let's take bacon as an example... 30 to 45 minutes or so with a coffee maker, but five to seven minutes with a stove. Sometimes people are like "Oh, you must be stupid... Don't you realize that it's much more efficient to cook with a stove!!!???" ... OF COURSE I know that. But that's not the point. This is one of my main interests! I know it's an unusual one, but some people like to dance, sing, paint or race with cars. I don't. I like to try and make different things edible with my coffee maker.
She's like the Ulrika Meinhof of...er...coffee-maker cooking. ("Everybody talks about the weather...we don't")
I love the idea that the alternative to racing cars is cooking in your coffee-maker.

The last instant ramen I've eaten, it was a 3-minute cup I cooked with the office's Nespresso machine. So... yeah?

I read an article where a cop said this too: people cook up some kind of meth in them, it seems.

It took me a while to be confident that this was a joke (although the photo where she is holding up the "dead" cat is pretty clearly posed, with a surprisingly compliant kitty). I think this is because I unconsciously associate 1. cooking lamb hearts; 2. "extreme" cooking; 3. Swedes (my family is Swedish-American with some degree of connection to Sweden remaining) with a certain kind of rough barbarism that might lead one to kill and eat a cat and think it funny. All these things are not actually accurate, but I was surprised by how ready I was to think she'd actually hurt one of her cats.

The Food Team at work did a couple of videos on cooking in your coffee maker.
My mother actually used to do this when I'd go visit her at work during summers when school was out. It was before the era when microwave ovens were cheap and ubiquitous, and a coffee maker is what we had available to us. Mostly we cooked ramen and hot dogs.

I like how you anti-in-room-coffee-maker crowd think getting a little hit of free meth is a bad thing, or something to be avoided.

fwiw - it's not meth that is behind my suggestion - but, people do a lot of weird shit with things that aren't theirs and housekeeping often cares more that things look clean, not that they are clean - which can lead to someone washing a carafe that had pee in it with something like a bleach cleaner (not me, but i did see it) - that sort of shit happened all the time.

So to be fair, if some sick fuck urinated in the carafe, and then housekeeping cleaned with a bleach based cleaner, it'd be clean and safe. I'd drink coffee from it, I'd let my kids drink from it.
That's what bleach based products are for.

Is there one where she makes nitroglycerine with a coffee maker? Don't tell me it's impossible; I saw Tommy Lee Jones do it in Blown Away.

The last thing you should do with a hotel coffee maker is use it to make the provided coffee. They expect you to come back after that? Really?

Mr. Roquette used to boil eggs in a coffee maker. I found a hotel coffee maker to be pretty awesome as a cous-cousier. Instant cous-cous, dehydrated vegetables and beef jerky.
