Editorial Review:

First came A Man, a Can, a Plan: 50 Great Guy Meals Even You Can Make. The Sunday Star-Ledger cheered it as a "foolproof, not to mention spill-proof guide to manly success in the kitchen." And the Detroit News exclaimed, "Dude, this cookbook is for you."

Next came A Man, a Can, a Grill: 50 No-Sweat Meals You Can Fire Up Fast. Cookbook author Andrew Schloss, who wrote Cooking with Three Ingredients and Dinner's Ready, called the recipes "easy, flavorful...streamlined and smart. Real food-so good that no one will ever guess your secret is in the can."

Now there's A Man, a Can, a Microwave-and all those "dudes" who helped put the "Grill" book on the New York Times how-to bestseller list will be pleased to know that David Joachim and the editors of Men's Health haven't lost a beat. The 50 guy-friendly, nuke-able meals using packaged ingredients are fun to make and great to eat-and include such tasty dishes as "Italian One-Dish Fish," "Teriyaki Beef with Broccoli," and "Painless Paella." With step-by-step recipes and full-color photos, A Man, a Can, a Microwave, like the previous books in the series, is a perfect gift for anyone learning to cope in the kitchen. Make sure he has a can opener-and a hearty appetite!

Buy the Original a Man a Can a Plan cookbook instead

This sequel is cashing in on the Original A Man A Can cookbook that was surprisingly very useful for my bachelor sons. It had dozens of tasty recipes that the boys could do easily by opening several cans of easily procured and stored foods.
This one, however is just a microwave cookbook. It involves buying pounds of meat , shrimp, chicken and unprepared foods that need to be cooked properly before even assembling. This is WAY too much trouble for a bachelor when you can heat a frozen pizza in 15 minutes.
You might as well just borrow your Mom's microwave cookbook and learn to cook beef and chicken, spending an hour cooking dinner. Do you really want to do this?

Smiles all around!

Gave this to my son for college meals. He has very rarely made anything to eat for himself! . He and his three roomates have welcomed this gift and have already enjoyed a meal from it.

Good for those on their own

Bought this for my son when you moved into his first apartment, he says the recipes are pretty easy to make and pretty decent.

great for the single guy

If your own your own for the first time, divorced, etc. This will give you a good start on learning to cook. I found the best part of the book was the tuna casserole. YUM!
