What Can I Make In My Electric Hot Pot?
February 16th, 2010 by Rexx
It’s pretty much like a coffee pot, it just boils water. I am not looking for hot pot recipes just things I can make with my hot pot. I tried oatmeal and that worked really well. Is there anything else I can make besides oatmeal and soup?
I am going to be living in a dorm and all we have is a fridge and this hot pot. Is there something else I could eat, like I saw you can make grilled cheese with an iron.

Anything that comes in a can:
soup
ravioli
spaghetti O’s
use it to boil water and use it make rice mixes, or pasta mixes like Knorr or Lipton flavored rice and pasta that comes in packets
cup of noodles
mac n cheese, add some tuna and heat for easy tuna casserole

I suppose if it boils water you can hard boil eggs, make pasta, basically anything that cooks with boiling water.

Chickpea Hot Pot Recipe
February 21, 2008 | 42 Comments
Today’s chickpea hot pot recipe was inspired by a small burst of early spring cleaning. I have a certain shelf in a certain cupboard in my kitchen that houses all manner of grains, legumes and rices. These ingredients do their best to spill over and infiltrate other areas in their proximity (the refrigerator, various bowls on the countertop, other cupboards), but I do my very best to keep them in their place. One of the problems I run into are the almost empty bags and jars – the 1/2 cup of purple rice here, the 3/4 cup of whole wheat couscous there. I end up with whole clusters of these stragglers. On this particular cleaning spree I came face to face with a large billowy plastic bag containing just a handful or two of bulgur wheat nestled in one of its corners. Not wanting to toss it out, I used it as the starting point for today’s recipe. I have an abundance of citrus around right now, so the fast-cooking bulgur cooks in a light orange-juice accented broth. Plenty of chickpeas, tiny cauliflower pieces, onions, and greens add texture and substance to the hearty pot.
And for the sticklers, I don’t meant hotpot in the traditional sense, I’m naming it this because we’re literally talking about a big hearty pot of hot stew – and truth be told I think I’ve overused the soup title lately here, here, and here.

Readers looking to make this gluten-free can trade in an alternate grain (quinoa would be nice) and this should work for you as well – I’d likely pre-cook the grain and stir it in, but you might also cook it in the pot.
