    Food to microwave - looking for ideas

    Imagine you stay in a hotel with extortionate restaurant prices, but free access to microwave. There are no external restaurants within miles around the hotel but there is Tesco Extra next door. What food you buy there to microwave? I already got bored with Indian ready meals.

    Chinese ready meals
    Italian ready meals
    Posher Indian ready meals

    If you get really desperate you could have microwavable chips and Rustlers "crap in 60 seconds" micro-burgers. Suddenly ready meals will seem wonderful again.

        Make some frozen stew at home etc and do that first / second night.

        Canned stuff around like stewed steak/curry.

        Yummy steak suet pudding.

        They do packet Curry Kohlinoor which are nice with a Naan.

          Baked potato? That's pretty much all I use my microwave for.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  Depends on the size of the microwave.

                  Probably a roast ox would be too large. But you could maybe cook chicken legs or boil eggs.

                  (Seriously, I'm not sure if eggs would be OK, as they might explode. But if not that might be handy for breakfast.)

                    You’re not supposed to use the microwave ovens on display at Tesco.
