In
college, you're going to find that eating out whether it's in the
cafeteria or at a restaurant is going to get old quick. It's not
going to only cost you money; it's also going to get really
repetitive. This is why you should consider getting a dorm microwave
in your college dorm room if your college accepts them. A microwave
not only can save you money; it's also going to get you away from
that nasty college cafeteria food.
I'm going show you some tips that
you can use when it comes to cooking with your microwave. If you're
in college, you're going to find that cooking with a microwave is
actually fairly simple. There many things out there that you can use
that only take a couple minutes to heat up.
Hot drinks -- many students forget
that a microwave is not only for food, it can also be used for hot
drinks. Drinks like tea, coffee, and other hot beverages are great
on those cold mornings or nights. Make sure you get tea packets or
even instant coffee. Coffee is great for those nights where you need
to study until three in the morning.
Instant soups -- when it comes to
food, there many items that can be found in the grocery store. One
of the most popular microwavable items is soup. From Ramen noodles
to instant soup and a cup, these are among the college student’s
favorites. They are easy to make and they actually taste pretty good
from coming out of a microwave. The nice thing about instant soups
is that you're only in the pay about a dollar or so for a cup. When
it comes to Ramen noodles, you can usually buy 10 packets for about
one dollar.
Frozen goods -- another popular
item that are cooked in microwaves among college students or even
household are frozen foods that come in packages. From frozen pizzas
to hot pockets, a simple look in the freezer section of any grocery
store will show you how many frozen goods there actually are to
cook. Most of these frozen goods only take you about 3 to 10 minutes
to cut. While they aren't the best quality, it's a lot better than
eating out and spending $5-$10 a meal. Sometimes, you just have to
sacrifice the quality of food over the price. Remember, this is
college and you're not going to live like a king.
When it comes to cooking a
microwave, you just have to be creative. There are many creative
ideas online and even recipes that you can use it come to cooking.
From homemade nachos to popcorn, a microwave and cook a lot more
than you think. When it comes to finding a microwave that suitable
for your dorm, make sure that you find one that's not too big or too
small. You want to find one that gets the job done. These appliances
will generally only cost you about $100. I know it sound like a lot
now but think of all the money you can save over your four-year
college career.
