Howdy! Has anyone gotten reliable toast out of the microwave? Is there something you bought/use to make the toast. It has to be still soft inside and toasty on the outside, but not black.
My son is going to college, and his go-to breakfast is a fried or scrambled egg, piece of toast, glass of milk, and a piece of fruit. He eats this 4-5 days per week. Other days he sleeps through breakfast or eats cold cereal. It seems crazy to spend $120/month for breakfast when there is a dorm plan that's $120/month cheaper with 12 meals and $15 whenever food instead of the unlimited meal plan.
There's also a grocery store about 3 blocks away from his probable dorm. Of note - he can take out 1 drink and 1 snack (fruit) from the dining hall on his way out each meal.
So, this semi-mustachian mom thinks that breakfast should be in his room vs. in the dining hall since it's the cheapest meal of the day, breakfast hours at the dining halls are limited, and he eats basically the same thing each day. A loaf or two of bread ($2), some butter ($2), and a dozen eggs ($2), a box of Frosted Flakes ($2) and he'd be set for the month for under $10. He's up for the plan....Every dollar over a certain amount is his to pay, so this would save him approximately 10 hours of working for money each month if he can make it happen.
I found an egg maker for the microwave ($5) that actually works way better than any fry pan for over medium eggs and cleans up super easy/quick. The milk and fruit he can get from the cafeteria during one of his other meals.
The toast is the sticking point. I see a "Reheatza" pan that's $40 new (of course I'd find one on Craigslist between now and August for cheaper), but I don't want to buy something if it won't work.
I figured another mustachian college student would have this one figured out. FWIW, I asked if there was a communal toaster anywhere, and the answer was "no" but you could "rent" the kitchen for $10. Umm....no.
I even told my son if he could figure this out he might be able to sell eggs and toast to other students for $1.5-$2.00 or something and make decent $.
