What Are Creative Ways to Use a Small Microcooker?

In summary, the small microcooker is a great tool for microwaving smaller portions, browning smaller portions of meat, and making oatmeal pouches. Some of the other uses include heating up baby food and melting chocolate. The small micro cooker is a must have for busy cooks!

I love it for microwaving my leftovers. No mess and it seems more evenly heated than with just a paper plate.

I also use it to microwave smaller portions of veggies for me. Just add some water and frozen veggies. yummy

Also you can use this for veggies in a can. I add a little bit of butter and it comes out nice and tasty.

I use this to brown smaller portions of hamburger meat.

I also use this to make oatmeal pouches for my toddler. There are so many more uses I am sure.

I use it to make scrambled eggs. Add 2 eggs and a splash of milk; whisk together. Put on the lid and nuke for 2 1/2 minutess. You have a fluffy scrambled egg without the added fat!
 
Top Ramen! My kids love noo-noos.... break up noodles, add sauce packet, cover with water (just over noodle level) and nuke for 4-5 min!

Fresh, Frozen & Canned Vegetables
Soup
Spaghetti Sauce
Leftovers
melting chocolate
Blueberry Syrup! I take a pint of berries - fresh or frozen, and cover them with REAL maple syrup - heat it up in the micro cooker for 3-4 minutes, and you have awesome homemade blueberry syrup - my husband and son love this on their frozen waffles in the morning!:) (so even if the waffles aren't homemade - the syrup makes 'em taste like they are!)

Seriously - my small micro cooker is almost never in the cupboard - it goes directly from the dishwasher to the microwave most of the time!

These are all REALLY wonderful ideas! I especially love the scrambled egg idea and the blueberry syrup!

Can't wait to start using my cooker!
 
Becky I'm right there with you, I have two small and one large and almost never have one clean. I use my small ones mostly for veggies and chocolate, but I love to do ground beef and chicken in my large one.
 
Did you know that you can put 1 lb of frozen hambuger in it and place the microwave on the normal setting (not defrost). Every 3-4 minutes, break up the hamburger and it only takes 8-10 minutes to brown it. I demonstate this at every show that I can and tell everyone this is a must have!!! The 2 microcookers are #2 and #3 on my top sell list.
