Fresh vegetables are fantastic in the microwave as well as frozen. I particularly like cooking scrambled eggs with lots of yummy stuff in them in the microwave. You can also, with the right directions cook a whole chicken or turkey. If you don’t do meat correctly though, it gets dried out and tough.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>With a hot plate stability would be the biggest issue.

I live in Victorville, CA which is in the high desert of Southern California. I live in a very small hoe-in-the-wall. I have a microwave oven but there is no room for a stove. The landlord has hotplates. Because microwave meals are so high in sodium & I have high blood pressure, I really need to come up with a way for me to do some small cooking.
