GE Hotpot for boiling water

[arminnie]

I actually bought this on a trip to another city, but I love having it for travel. I like to have tea in my room (it tastes like coffee if you try to use a coffee maker for the hot water).

I bought this at Walmart for about $11 - I saw it yesterday at Walgreen's on 192 for about $6 after a $3 rebate. It's been worth every penny.

This is a white plastic pot about 6-7 inches tall - probably a 6 inch diameter. I'm not sure what the capacity it. So far I have only used it for hot water but it says you can also use it to heat other liquids.

Having hot water makes it possible to have tea, coffee, instant oatmeal, instant soups and noodles, hot chocolate - and I"m sure a bunch of other stuff. It really comes in handy if you don't have a microwave in the room.

Even if I'm at a hotel with a free continental breakfast I love being able to have a cup of tea without having to get dressed.

I picked one up at a yard sale for 25 cents. It paid for itself with the first cup of coffee I made. I only use it for boiling water, and then use the boiling water in other things because I can't imerse it to clean it. I make Mr. noodles, coffee tea, instant soup, & minute rice. I also put 1/3 cup of quick cook (not instant)oatmeal in a bowl with a snap down lid ( or margerine tub) and fill it with hot water and stir. Put lid on, let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in honey, jam, sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon,whatever and enjoy. Also did you know you can use a can of soup the same way? Pour 1/2 a can of soup in your bowl, and add water thats at a rolling boil. The soup won't be steaming hot, but is fine. I've saved a lot of money with it. I don't use it as much now that I use the refillable mugs at the resorts.
