She never says “that’s disgusting” she just says “personally it’s not my favorite” and it really feels nice because there are people in that situation or have been in a situation where they had to eat say: the clay cookies. She was very informal and polite 🥰

You might want to look into an instant pot, the main advantage of these is portability but neither of these seems to have a lot of Versatility beyond what you can get out of a standard small rice cooker or crock pot. If you're just setting up a desktop kitchen for a dorm or efficiency apartment you will get a lot more mileage out of an instant pot. That being said I suspect that these are a lot cheaper then a full-blown instant pot and I consider a rice cooker one of the most wonderful tools ever conceived for a extreme budget situation. Free Pro tip a good rice cooker can make a Zatarain's box simply by dumping in the ingredients in flipping a switch

I’m an RA at my university and unfortunately in the dorms a lot of these kind of products are not allowed. If we are lucky enough parents will donate a microwave in the common areas for students to use. Currently my dorm has a terrible microwave that no longer has the power to heat up food like an average microwave. Sometimes it’ll take 5-6 minutes to heat up ramen or any dish. This would be pretty neat to have if universities would allow it- but I would make sure with anyone’s college that these are allowed.

I think Wish has one that runs on the car's cigarette lighter.

[@Chocolatchips]

@@emmymade That one was called a "RoadPro". It was model RPSC-197-p and it's shaped like a classic "Well, I'm off to the mill!" lunch box. :) The little disposable aluminum trays, shaped especially for the cooker, were a bit costly, however; I mostly wrapped items in aluminum foil, which was also not quite a guilt-free consumable item. It was a nice treat, though, and it never cought on fire! :D

[@garryliango6485]

@@MizFrost I got one of those flat aluminium square ones at Walmart 4-5 years ago. They only heat up though though just enough to give off steam. These Itaki buggers I got last Christmas for the kids and I. They even cook raw meat well and pretty safe so I'd say it's worth it and no issues with em so far

[@alexreith4877]

I was thinking the little rice cooker lunchbox, plus a power inverter, means no more drive thru on long road trips, then you just need a 12 volt fridge/cooler for a cold drink. Sounds perfect.

This is a legitimate reason to complain. I had a coworker who had a crockpot at her desk. She came in early and started it. She would cook ribs, fish stews, and greens among other things.

Every. Damn. Day. The entire office would get to the point of groaning as we'd had enough. Weeks turned into months of every day suffering through this constant fish wave of vomit enducing proportions and she'd sit there pretending not to notice.
