Microwave Foods Tips

Hey guys, I thought I would share some microwave food that turns out pretty good with you guys for the dorm rooms.

UNCLE BENS'S READY RICE only takes 90s to steam in the bag. I tried it last night, pretty yummy.
PASTA SIDES is a brand of quick pasta with the dry sauce ingredients I had the alfrado one about a month ago and all it requires in a little butter and milk
CREAM OF WHEAT and COCOWHEAT and of course OATS are also a great food item for breakfast or whenever. i is just box instructions. Adding things like butter, sugar cinnomin etc are up to you but butter and sugar go well with the coco and the cream wheats. Oats is good with butter and cinnamon. 
JELLO! Yes make jello. Follow instructions on the back of the box. (for the boiling water just microwave till it is pretty hot it does not have to boil to work) and i am working on trying jello brand pudding in the microwave
RAMEN NOODLES just follow instructions. there is also a container that is a microwave safe steaming mug that works great for it. it is white with a blue plug for the steam hole, you can find iit at Walmart.
MASHED POTATOES there are microwaveable potatoes in single serve containers where boxed mashed potatoes are and they are decent potatoes, i suggest added a little butter salt and pepper and milk to them.
MACARONI single serve mac n cheese is also available for the microwave
CAKE! I worked out a cake recipe for a coffee mug in the microwave by experimenting with a duncan hines recipe, mine turned out better. 
mix 1 box of angle food cake and 1 box of a chocolate cake mix (i prefer the fudge cake) in a big ziplock bag and mix well.
it is a 2 to 3 ratio. 3 Tbls mix and 2 Tbls Milk (water works but it is more dry) 
mix in a coffee mug
microwave for 45 secs 
Vartatoions: Smores- melt cocolate in bottom of mug add mix and milk and mix well, push 1 marshmellow into batter and micro for 60 secs. top with a gram cracker
Reses cake crumble a reses and heat a little before mixing ito the batter. 60secs
Also you can make different flavor cake alltogether by gettng a different flavor cake mix, like redvelvet or confetti.

Have fun!

Please make these items in a glass microwave bowl. Cooking in Plastic/tubberware is not good, it could melt, get too hot and burn you or some cases contaminate food depending on the dish, so please get a glass bowl, some of these item cook for a long time and get hot!

Be safe,
