Skillet Steamer

Skillet Steamer

Cooking in a college dorm?

I just started college, and already ramen noodles are getting old, and I don't have much of a meal plan, *so*. I'm a pretty experienced cook, but most of the stuff I usually cook involves a stove top, oven, or griddle, and I'm more used to cooking with a variety of ingredients. We're not allowed hotplates, but we have a toaster oven, an electric skillet, a VERY tiny crock pot, a microwave, and a rice steamer that doesn't work too well. Any suggestions or recipes for meals I can cook with these items and relatively cheap ingredients? Thanks in advance for the help

Sounds to me like your biggest problem will be keeping raw food cold until you can cook it. Dorm fridges are not real big!

You can boil pasta in the microwave. Meatsauce in elec skillet or plain spagh. sauce in crock pot.

Make pork chops or chicken legs and brasts in the elec. skillet. Also great for pancakes, french toast, HB patties, heat up hot dogs in chili, sausage links orpatties, hash browns, bacon and eggs, grilled cheese or grilled meat sandwiches.

If your elec skillet has a high domed lid, you can even roast a whole chicken in there! Takes a couple hours on med., but w/ lid on, it's like an oven. Add some stove-top stuffing the last 20 min or so around the bird and you've got chicken and dressing!

Keep a few pieces of fresh fruit around for snacking.

Don't forget about simple sandiwches: PB&J, lunch meat + cheese, tuna salad, that sort of thing. Quick fix, quick eat, and back to studying!
