What is this thing?

[SD1992]

I arrived back at my university halls of residence a couple of days ago to find a new appliance in the kitchen.

I can't for the life of me figure out what it is, and neither can my flatmates! I assume either a) the cleaners put it here, or b) it belongs to our new, antisocial Indian flat mate.

None of the other kitchens have one, and I really want to throw something in, press "cook", and see what happens.



Looks a bit out of place next to the kettle, toaster, and microwave as it seems to work, and it reasonably new.

It's obviously a Pot Noodle warmer/cooker.

Seriously? How much are these things?

What did the kettle ever do wrong...? (besides not work, Tesco sell them for £4)

Hadn't thought of that, makes sense as we don't even get regular cookers or hobs in our kitchens!!

It will belong to your Indian housemate and will be used to cook/reheat curries, which could be good if you like curry and can get him/her to share!

I just used a bowl and boiling water... Although my mate did manage to kill his kettle by trying to cook pasta in it.

Oh it will be interesting when he has to cook for himself next year...

Definitely a slow cooker and if you are on a budget and concious about not eating ready meals or takeaways then you will find they can be dam useful for, soups, stews, curries etc. Just bung all the ingredients in there together in a morning and come back 6hrs later to a cracking meal.

Rice cooker it is!

Can you cook other stuff in it?

The guy is very anti social, and very messy (hand towels down the bog, suspicious razor in the shower...) so I am sure we could try some new things with this rice cooker thing!
