How do you cook Asian food in a Western kitchen?
Q. I'm a college student and I've grown up cooking Asian food using a wok and a gas stove. But the kitchens in my college are electric and I won't have a wok; I'll have regular pots and pans. I'd still like to be able to stir-fry and steam stuff. Does anyone have any tips? I imagine this is a relatively common problem, so a link to some webpage with more details would be great.

A. Just use a regular skillet. It's not the same but Millions stir fry in a large skillet everyday.

Help...as a college student what should be in my kitchen?
Q. I live on my own (left my parents home because they were very strict Muslims and wouldn't let me finish my education) so I so far have plates, knives, forks, pots, pans (every utensil you can imagine even baking items). Now for food I'm confused as to cooking. I have pasta, sauce, cereal, rice, milk, bagels, etc. But what do I need to cook real dinners? Things that I can make and then store in the fridge for a week and eat. I don't know how to make those kinds of things and what I need to buy to do it. I don't drink alcohol!

A. It sounds like you are looking for recipes where you would cook a lot of food and then be able to eat off the leftovers for a period of time. One of the best tools to accomplish this as a college student is a slow cooker, aka a crock pot. You don't need a fancy slow cooker. Grab the least expensive one that has a removal crock. An oval shaped 4-quart capacity slow cooker is an excellent size. Establish a routine where you get your preparations done either the night before or in the morning. Get the slow cooker started before you leave for classes in the morning. When you get home later that day and are tired and don't feel like cooking, you'll be greeted with the wonderful smell of whatever has been cooking all day. This is one of the main… [cont.]

Is there such a thing as a "starving student" anymore these days?
Q. Went to visit my child attending university and was astounded to see that they his roommates had a flat screen TV, video game systems, stacks of DVDs, a foosball table, and many varieties of alcohol lining the kitchen cabinets. They all had laptops and nice computers and fancy cell phones. When I was in university, I had a desk and a bed. We watched TV at the student lounge and there was only 2 tvs for all of us and we defintely didn't have cable. Luckily, my roommate had a typewriter so I could type my reports up neat. I can't image having half the stuff that kids have now. How do you even study?

A. Undergrads, not as much. Grad students have less money and can't rely on their parents any more for money. And international students never could - plus it costs them two months salary to go home.

What's a good cheap vacuum cleaner for a university student?
Q. Preferably less than 100 bucks, something that will likely work for a while, and has low maintenance costs (i.e. don't have to buy 30 dollar filters every 2 months).

What can a college student cook in a small kitchen?
Q. I'm getting a small apartment completely to myself and want to get more serious about cooking, but healthy food. I already can cook Italian and Japanese dishes and even tofu meals, but would like to know what is practical. Suggestions on making it easier since being a college student means I'm often low on money - such as buying ready-made, microwave-ready mixed vegetables and so on.

A. You don't need to resort to ready made stuff to eat cheap. Buy vegetables in season, locally grown, and if you have a local farmers market prices are better than grocery stores. Lacking that, get the cheapest thing in the produce section and learn to make it different ways. Growing your own herbs is much cheaper than buying the dried stuff. Herbs are really tough, I kill everything and my herbs are the only plants doing fine. Buy in bulk and freeze in individual packaging. If you have a good set of knives you can save by buying a whole chicken and breaking it down yourself.

Ideas for simple pranks to pull in our student kitchen?
Q. Our flatmates are insanely annoying so it's time to retaliate... So far we are going to toast all the bread and put it back in the bag, food dye milk and things green, hard boil their eggs, cover everything possible with cling film, what more can we do? Our kitchen has sink, fridge/freezer, stools, hob/oven, food cupboards - all the usual stuff but we can't wreck it as we won't get deposits back! Also our flatmates have no sense of humor so nothing to extreme!! Thanks

A. Toaster Coffee Maker Pot Skillet Bed, Bath and Beyond usually has % off coupons that come in the mail. See if your neighbors are willing to share theirs if they don't use them. You could save on each item that way. Tuesday Morning has good deals on silverware (eating utensils) that don't break when you touch them. Personally, I recommend you buy what you need when you need it. You can almost always find that kind of stuff on sale somewhere. There are so many things I was told I needed that I never used. When money is tight (as it is for most college students) it's not necessary to be fully stocked.

What is a good cuisine for a college student and enthusiastic cook to learn?

I originally wanted to do Indian food, but a little bit of research showed that all the Indian restaurant dishes I love take the better part of a day to prepare. I'm busy, so I want food that takes 1 or 2 hours, tops. I'm thinking Thai- I looove the flavor, but I'm worried that the fresh seasonings like limes, basil, and lemongrass might run up my expenses.

Can I follow the South Beach diet as a college student?
Q. I am a college student with little time to cook and no kitchen in my dorm for that matter and i notice that the meal plans require some cooking. Can I still follow the diet if i follow the rules for Phase 1 and 2 without having to cook and prepare the meals (my college has a cafeteria)?

A. My dad did the south beach diet but if i remember right its mostly a bunch of recipes that they give you and you make whatever you want. They Do tell you what you can eat and what to avoid though, so you can try to follow it, but you'll be limited to what the school serves.. I would suggest you see if you can take a nutrition class to satisfy the health credit you probably need, or just read about it on line in your spare time so you know what stuff you ought to be eating and what to avoid. that way you can create your own diet plan with whats available to you. good luck!!

What should a broke college student eat?
Q. I have limited means and am a full time college student. I need some ideas of what I should eat this semester. I don't want to rely on mac n cheese or ramen noodles for 4 months. I have a kitchen so my plan is to make meals that will last for a couple days at a time, but I also have to make enough for 4 roommates. Any ideas on what I can make that will taste good, but is also cheap???

A. Cheap, good, and filling is a very difficult combination to stumble across. Pasta is always very easy, pretty cheap, and can be made to feed as many people as necessary. The only trouble with that is that having pasta every single day gets really old and isn't actually all that good for you. The best thing to do if you want balance is to get the ads for every grocery store in your area and go through them, and then try to compile a weekly/monthly menu using the things that are on sale/things that have coupons. Another good thing, assuming you have the space, is that a lot of stuff can be frozen. If, for instance, chicken breasts are on sale at Raley's, and ground beef is on sale at Safeway, you could easily buy both and freeze them until… [cont.]

Which kitchen set is best for a pastry arts student?
Q. I'm trying to decide which kind of cookingware I want to buy. Mainly the materials they are made out of. Can someone briefly explain what's considered the "best quality" if there is one. I know I want to get cast iron pans, because they'll cook evenly. But for things like skillets/frying pans what's best? Non-stick? Keep in mind, I'm going to school for cooking. So I'd like something durable and reliable.

A. cast iron skillets and kettles are best of all for most cooking. I use stainless sauce pans for a lot of stuff and some enamel sauce pans too.
