http://web.njit.edu/~jcl7/microwave_cookbook.htmlIntroduction:
College students fall into two categories, they are Lazy or Busy. Therefore every recipe here makes one portion and most have no cleanup at all afterwards. If it takes more than 1 line to describe, it's too complicated for this cookbook.
Notes:
When I say "bowl" I mean a very microwave safe bowl. No plastic!
* If a starred instruction is left out, your meal may explode and leave a mess.
**Remember vegetables are never peeled, way way too much effort! (you may want to wash them, standard)
With no further ado- The Microwave Cookbook:
