Cooking MacGyver Style

There is a special place in my heart for doing things differently. Like when Joe and I moved from Boston to Portland and drove cross-country, we utilized what we had (a car) to make lunch a la Manifold Destiny. You can check out our blog entries on this here: Our Little Lunch Experiment Take 1, lunch experiment take 2 and Mmm burrito.

So today, when I was scouring the internet for something completely different but happened upon a post about how to make chicken and cous-cous in your coffee pot I thought it was BRILLIANT. It almost makes me want to go acquire this kind of coffee pot just to experiment to see if it might work.


What about you? What kind of creative cooking (or otherwise) exploits have you undertaken to do things just a little differently than the rest?

  1. I have a post planned for tomorrow that will answer just that question! No coffee pots are used in the cooking though. ;-)

  2. lol. That's the innovation of a dormitory resident right there! I used to use my electric kettle to make potstickers and macaroni and cheese because the NW dorm kitchen was too far away (and rarely ever clean). :)
