The $12 Mr Coffee from Walmart has lasted 3 years at work, making 36 cups a day. It has an on/off switch, that is it....when it dies, we will replace it, with one that invariably be priced $11.50
My cheapo coffee maker generally had a timer so it'll turn on and have me a fresh pot brewed just before my alarm goes off. So long as I have to do all of the other prep work to actually enable its coffee sorcery, voice commands are stoopid.
@Sticks Calhoun: It looks like it is tea, actually, which could explain the lack of understanding of the whole coffee concept. Or perhaps it really is just a clock that is shaped like a coffee maker?
I would've brown the chicken with some olive oil in the carafe without any water prior to step # 1.
After the broth was done, Step #4, I would've saved most of it for the couscous aside and would have deglazed the carafe with the red wine, reduced it and saved the red sauce to dish with.
@aec007: That'd probably work in, you know, a pan, with actual heat. The burner on my $25 coffeemaker isn't really equipped to reduce wine, and like I said, it's not nearly hot enough to brown meat.
I've got another MacGyver Chef post coming up that'll bring waaay too much heat, I promise.
@Gary_7vn: Microwaves are for advance human beings.
Cheap coffee makers (which I got for about $15) are for poor college kids :D
So yay for MacGyver-ing dinner!
Dan, don't you know you're supposed to serve a white wine with poultry and/or seafood, and a red wine with everything else? Surely even MacGyver himself knows this!
@JP The BAMF: IIRC, and I usually do, MacGyver's only advice about wine was for Merlin NOT to drink it before strenuous activity, as it would make him thirstier.
@GitEmSteveDave_HasTanLines: Will there be a review on the tech of the new dishwasher after he is unable to remove the smell of steamed fish from the old one.

Then I would've continued to step # 5.

"Tomorrow's MacGyver Chef recipe will be an urban-legend favorite: Fish steamed in the dishwasher. Stay tuned."
But I could be wrong.
