How to Prepare Dorm Room Meals (No Stove or Kitchen Needed)

Any student may find themselves in search of practical snacks and easy-peasy meals that are as tasty and cheap as possible. But you don’t need to worry because you can make food with a kettle, a microwave, or even an iron.

5-Minute Crafts prepared some delicious, budget-friendly recipes that are practical enough to give you the time to study without worrying about their taste too much.

I. Using an iron

1. Make some toast.

You’ll need: 2 slices of bread, sandwich filling, an iron, aluminum foil, butter or margarine, and a knife

How you do it:

1. Turn on the iron. Butter both slices of bread only on one side; they’ll be the outer part of the sandwich. Place the stuffing or filling on the non-buttered side.
2. Wrap your favorite sandwich in aluminum foil. Ensure not to fold it too tight as the foil could tear.
3. Lightly press the iron onto one side of the sandwich for about 2 minutes. Turn the sandwich over and lightly press.
4. Open your aluminum foil very carefully, as it will be sweltering.

2. Make steak.

How you do it:

1. Place the steak on a piece of aluminum foil. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Wrap it in the foil.
3. Gently press the iron onto one side of the foil for 5 minutes. Then flip it and repeat the same thing on the other side.
4. Unwrap it carefully, and place it onto a cutting board.

II. Using a kettle
