A 1971 Guide To College Dorm CookingBy Sablemable
As you settle into your dorm room, what can you do to survive late-night hunger? If you prepared ahead, then you brought along your toaster oven, electric skillet, blender and iron. Yes. An iron. Here are some ideas and recipes from the October 1971 issue of Seventeen magazine.
Now for the iron. I’ve never tried this even though I’ve looked at this on and off for 41 years.
Yummy!

These are great ideas for work lunches, too. I have a small rice cooker I use to make fresh lunches, but I’m thinking I need an electric skillet! Makes pot licks better, too, because the food will be hot.

Hi, Toni! Yes, isn’t it great that we can recycle these recipes in 2012? I still want to try that iron sandwich!

Hee! I have heard about the grilled cheese made with an iron, I haven’t tried it yet….but maybe someday!

Ha! Great minds think alike, Sara! I suppose since we’d do it at home, we could nix the deviled ham and use the real stuff. Heck, even just an ironed cheese sandwich sounds good!

Ha! We don’t have a kitchen right now and I am seriously thinking about ironing myself up a grilled cheese! And wow, looks like I need an electric skillet.
