    There's a thread on here for slow cooker recipes, sorry Im rubbish at posting links, but just do a search and you'll find it!
    You can do casseroles, soup and cook a chicken or a ham in the SC. Steamer for veg obviously and you can do jacket pots, pasta and rice in the microwave.

    When I was a student (way back in the '70s) I ate quite well with just a slow cooker and infra-red grill (as they were called in those days). You can do baked potatoes in the slow cooker, as well as puddings and breads (in a container within the slow cooker), and once you have your microwave you should be fine. As mentioned earlier, look out for the slow cooking thread - wonderful ideas on that!
