quick and easy meals please?
I only have a microwave and two hotplates, so no recipes which require an oven please?
I've been living on ready-meals, soup (minute soup, canned soup and home-made, it's one of the few things I can cook) and potnoodles (think Aiki).
I don't like cooking so something that can just be thrown together would be ideal - I'm getting bored with the ready-meals, to be honest!
oh, forgot to say, the microwave and hotplates are really all I have, no frying pan to make chips!
macaroni cheese, easy 2 make, put macaroni in boiling hot water, cook until soft, drain, add milk & cheese, put into dish, pop into microwave, 4 mins or until cheese has melted, loverley. make a shepherds pie, cook mince, boil & mash spuds, into microwave heat & enjoy. Hope this helps.
Goo Luck!!

You have more than you need for alot of simple meals!Here's one
Tex-Mex Tortilla Soup

2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 medium zucchini, sliced
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes, with liquid
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup salsa

3/4 teaspoon pepper

Easiest thing to make in a microwave - baked potatoes - then fill with anything that takes your fancy. ie beans, Tuna. Or why dont you make chilli. Brown mince in a pot then add a tin of uncle bens chilli sauce. Eat some, keep some. It freezes really well, so ready to thaw and heat in microwave for next time.

Personally tried.
Surely the easiest thing would be pasta and a sauce? Pasta boiled on one hotplate and the sauce made and cooked on the other hotplate? You can make virtually any type of sauce (even if you buy a packet and use on it's own or add more ingredients to it). Spag bol and carbanora should be easily doable, as would chili where you throw everything together and bubble it away for 30 minutes or so and then cook the rice on the other hotplate. You can also, believe it or not, do a full roast in the microwave and I'm not talking about a prepackaged meal. Most supermarkets do cold roast chicken and you can cook it up. I think most sell microwave sausages and you can get microwave mash or make it on the hotplate. Curry too - basically anything stew like or a one pot dish with either rice, noodles or potatoes sound best. If you have a freezer you could make up batches of stuff at the weekend and then defrost and eat in the week (even if you just heat up in the microwave). Good luck!

Get some parchment paper, your supermarket should have it next to foil paper and plastic wrap. Put a pice of fish on it and season with lemon pepper. Wrap it up and steam it in the mic. You can add some fresh veggies in here as well.
Try an asian inspired rice as well. Cook your rice in the mic with stock instead of water, twice amount of salt, a pinch of garlic and ginger powder. Once you sautee this on high with some fresh veggies in a little olive oil, fresh veggies and some type of protein with some soy sauce. I can't say how much it depends on how much you make really. Once you are done season it with a few sprinkles of sesame oil. You can do the same thing with left over pasta, just add about 1/4 the amount of cornstarch to your soy sauce before you add your pasta back to the pan.
