Cooking with Bryan

If you haven't tried this cell phone recipe, you need to try it. It's great!

SAVORY CELLPHONE AND RICE CASSEROLE
(Best for cell phones that have been dropped in the toilet or sink)

Ingredients:
Wet Cell Phone
3-5 Cups dried rice

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees (or 350 if you're feeling daring). Place rice in small (approx 5x7 inch) baking pan or dish. Immerse opened cell phone into dried rice so it is covered on all sides (make sure battery is removed). Bake for approximately 5-10 minutes, then turn oven off and allow to cool in heated oven for 2-3 hours. This may need to be repeated two or three times. Phone is done once phone is dry and has reached room temperature. Replace battery and enjoy (but don't eat your cell phone)!

***Note: Results may vary depending on how wet the phone is/was. Also, this recipe may or may not work for cell phones that have been inadvertently dropped outside in the snow, left overnight, run through the auger of a two-cycle snow blower, and subsequently shot 15 feet across the driveway (but we'll keep you posted).
