15 Dorm Room Cooking Hacks to Save You From the Dining Hall

Not every dorm room has a spare iron laying around, but if you happen to have one, flatiron grilled cheese is totally a thing (with extreme caution). Prepare your sandwich the way you normally would and butter both sides, then wrap the whole thing in aluminum foil. Lay the iron flat on both sides for four minutes each, and voila, it's grilled cheese. (Or a panini or basically any hot sandwich you want.) Just be sure to wait a few minutes for the foil to cool before you unwrap and enjoy.
