It’s excellent satire
“I love posting satirical stories to LinkedIn (almost as a hobby now) because no one expects jokes on a ‘professional’ social network,” he said.
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.
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.
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.
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.
