Add text about possibility of carpet flooring.
Jun 5, 2019 at 22:24 comment added Federico Poloni Also, since this is UK, there is a good probability that the floor has carpet, and that would be another major fire hazard.
Jun 5, 2019 at 21:56 comment added TheWanderer I personally wouldn't recommend cooking in a dorm room at all. If this is anything like the dorms I've lived in, there are smoke detectors in every room, and cooking in your room is prohibited.

Jun 5, 2019 at 19:41 comment added mech The mention of "sauteed vegetables" and "grilled chicken" implies the use and presence of oils and fats, which can outright catch on fire or accumulate as fuel on surfaces after getting carried away by steam. If they were keeping it to just boiling water I wouldn't be so concerned with heat. I agree that an induction heater or kettle, on their own, are pretty safe fire-wise.
Jun 5, 2019 at 18:10 comment added Lee Daniel Crocker I agree that steaming the shelf above is the main issue; it is unlikely that the induction heater or kettle will be a fire hazard.
