Power Cooking at an Apartment: Microwave & Sink Tips!

[mrsbettyboop0000]

I want to do a power cooking show at a apartment complex, but the only thing they have is a sink, and a microwave. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to pull this off. Can you even cook hamburger meat in the micro??? Thanks in advance!!

You can, if you have a Micro-Cooker or a Rice Cooker.But an easier thing to do is to get a portable burner (hot plate) from Wally World or some other discount store. I've got one that I take to shows for when the kitchen just isn't condusive to using the stove for a demo. They're usually $10 or less, depending on where you get it and what type (mine's electric, but you can get gas ones, too, that use little cartridges of fuel).

I'm doing a bridal show next month and there is no oven there...just a microwave and a sink. We're going to do a fruit pizza, and I'm baking the sugar cookie here at home before I go. I can just bring it on a round stone already baked (it has to be cooled before you can put the toppings on, anyway, so that works out). I'm also doing strawberry lemonade in the QSP, and then we're going to basically just do a game or two. I think the key for doing shows without a full kitchen is to find recipes where you can simplify things. Good luck!
