What have you done to repurpose small appliances in your kitchen?

Whew, I thought for a minute there you were going to say you used your coffee machine to make soup. UGH. Our rice cooker clearly says we can use it for that. It’s not really a good idea to re-purpose small appliances because you will usually just have to go and replace them. I tried making toasted cheese in my upright toaster. It didn’t go well.

@YARNLADY Yikes! My cooker didn’t offer any ideas for me, so I thought it was a new thing. The coffee maker idea may have some merit, though…

Coffee percolators make excellent hot mulled spice wine and almond tea spiked with amaretto liqueur.

@hungryhungryhortence I wish I could give you double lurve for that one!

I turned my microwave into a phaser just for shits and giggles.
But I only use it on stun.:)

In college, my coffee maker doubled as a ramen cooker…. I have no idea why we did it, but it was yummy.

Not exactly the right answer, but I used a DeWalt drill as an eggbeater/immersion blender plenty of times.

@crisedwards That’s exactly thend onswer I’m looking for. I’ve been considering attaching a cordless drill to my pepper grinder. I lurve pepper, and my wrist gets tired doing all that grinding.

@ru2bz46
Not for nothing but you can buy an electric pepper grinder for under 10 bucks on eBay.

@SeventhSense But that defeats the whole purpose of repurposing. ;-)

@ru2bz46
Ya I thought of that too, but figured on the outside chance that you might of actually have wanted one I’d offer the link.

@ru2bz46
if i thought for half a sec I should have realized you posed the question. :) it’s late i’m tired, night

@SeventhSense No harm, no foul. :-)

I use my coffee-bean grinder as a spice grinder and an old coffee machine that broke down as a pot in the garden.
