[Sca-cooks] Can coffee urns be used for cooking?

[Daniel Myers]

Howdy,

I know this is an odd question, but considering how I (and probably
many others here) often end up cooking in substandard kitchens (like I
did this last weekend), I figure it's worth considering.

Some recipes, like sauces, will take up stove space for preparation and
need to be kept at safe temperatures until served.  Could a standard
$30 electric coffee urn work for this?  How hot do they keep their
contents?

I can imaging doing the prep for a sauce, pouring it into the urn, and
then "set it and forget it" ... well maybe stir it every now and then.
It even has that little spout at the bottom for dispensing into serving
bowls.

... or am I totally out there on this one?

- Doc
