I saw a YouTube video of a guy cooking a steak by wrapping it in aluminum foil and putting the hotel iron on top. But an iron gets a lot hotter than that warming plate, plus beef is less bad to eat undercooked.
This would probably work fine, it might be a bit slow, but a coffee pot gets plenty hot to cook chicken. My main concern would be the lack of fluid increases the chances that pot breaks.
The hot plate 100% has a safety switch that turns it off at a couple degrees above boiling. So it won’t break but it also won’t sufficiently cook the chicken with pieces this large…
"Chunky" chicken soup in a can just costs a couple dollars, you could try heating that in a coffee pot. Add some fresh cherry tomatoes and canned fruit and you have a good meal.
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.
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.
In my experience, in the white collar world, corporates really don’t think twice about paying for this stuff.* In fact, they’d really prefer that you just use the company card instead of blasting stupid bullshit like this on social or making yourself sick. This person’s boss probably thinks they’re fucking insane.
*If you’re blue collar, you can usually get fucked. If they do much as buy you a Costco hotdog and soda, they’re going to complain and hold it over your head. Little Caeser’s hot-n-ready pizza is the definition of spoiling your workforce in that world.
Dude, your company does not care in you in the slightest. ALWAYS take corporations and the government for every cent you can legally claw out of them. Because they will screw you over as hard as they can the second they feel like they can make more money and get away with it.
