Dorm Microwave Cooking
A compact set of microwave-first foods for limited kitchen access.
Step 1
Start with forgiving foods
Oatmeal, potatoes, frozen vegetables, and corn tolerate small timing differences.
Step 2
Use one reliable bowl
A large microwave-safe bowl with a vented cover solves most boiling and splatter problems.
Step 3
Avoid safety gambles
Use a thermometer for poultry and do not improvise with eggs in the shell.
