(A) 1 litre Coke
(B) tomato sauce (optional)
(C) 4 chicken breasts
(or similar quantity of drumsticks and/or wings)

Pork chops can be cooked in the same way.

SERVES: 4

PREP TIME: 5 minutes

COOK TIME: Somewhere between 45 minutes and 1 hour

TOOLS:

ASSEMBLY:

Mix together the Coke and tomato sauce in a large pot. Use 2 glugs of sauce for each chicken breast or 1 glug for each wing or drumstick. And 1 for good luck.

Heat this on the stove top on high until it bubbles, then turn it down to low.

Throw in the chook and poke it about to cover it in the liquid.

Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Don’t worry about this being soupy at first. The Coke thickens as it cooks.

Dean Lahn's Beat Heat Eat

Gentlemen … raise your forks

Dean Lahn’s Beat Heat Eat is one of the most hilarious and practical books we’ve ever published at Wakefield Press. Designed as more manual than recipe book, Lahn has a simple blokey way of describing how to make some delicious food. But let’s be clear: this is not the way your Nanna would cook. Take, for example, the genius simplicity of Lahn’s Griller Thriller. Is he serious? Is it dangerous? There’s only one way to find out …

 

Have you ever come in late and felt the need for a melted cheese toastie? Quickly satisfy your craving with this trick.

YOU WILL NEED:

(A) a toaster

(B) bread

(C) cheese

HOW IT’S DONE:

Grab your toaster and turn it into a grilling machine by flipping it onto its side.

Work to the height of the slots in the toaster. Press the toppings flat if you’re over the limit.

Insert bread and cheese into toaster, ensuring the heat elements are clear of the toppings. Heat until done or the toaster pops.

Keep a close eye on the toaster and be ready to hit the eject button. This kid can light up real quick.

WARNING:

Use this shortcut at your own risk.

You may also want to check the warranty on your toaster.

We agree, Dean, it just isn’t cooking if the activity doesn’t pose grave danger to you and your belongings! Why make grilled cheese the boring safe way? See this and more of Dean’s recipes in Beat Heat Eat, available here.
