No oven no microwave meal ideas

[nearlyspringyay]

Help please! I'm a competent cook, oven is broken, new one will be two weeks, it's already been two weeks. We are all fed up with pasta!

We're bbq - infection today and tomorrow but please help with hob only meal ideas.

We've had ramen, stir fry's and pasta, any other ideas please?

I mostly cook on the hob, using microwave to reheat, oven for jacket potatoes, grill for cheese on toast. I cook various curries, chilli, bolognese, soups...

I fry eggs, mushrooms, tomato for breakfast. You can pan fry salmon and chicken.

Chicken fajita wraps
Chilli with rice
Frittata with salad and bread
Fries eggs on rosti potatoes

What do you normally eat, that you're missing?
Stews, soups, curry and rice, enchiladas, can do a quick pizza type thing with wraps in a frying pan, loads of one pot recipes on BBC good food to check out.

Couscous and veg. Just need some hot water

Curry and rice. So many types of curry you can do.

Sausages and mash

Sausage and mash
Wraps
stove too chicken thighs with couscous
sticky chicken and rice
Soup
Stew

Curry
Fajitas
Soup

Sweet and sour chicken

Pancakes/crepes with sweet or savoury fillings
Soup

Cheese toastie. If you’ve a slow cooker don’t forget that does jackets etc.

Curries, stir fried, soups, casseroles, rice dishes, fried or boiled potatoes, eggs lots of different ways. I only use my oven for pizza, and mostly cook on a hob (no microwave)

Thai curries, Indian curries or sides like Bombay aloo, Chinese stir fry, any type of fajita or tostada with pickled onions, salsas and crema.

Pretty much any Asian food. And consider a toastie maker, can cook a surprising amount of oven food in it.

If you have a toaster: toast/bagels/muffins with toppings.

Curry, chilli, pan fried meat /fish and steamed veg. Meatballs, fish cakes, Mexican.

What is it that you normally eat?

Oo what else can be made in a toastie maker? I have one gathering dust.

i cook mainly on the hob. Lots curries, stir fry, stews. My oven is only for chicken nuggets.

Stews, curries, soups
Sausages, mash and veg
Steak.
Steak sandwiches
American style grilled cheese/quesadillas
Omelettes
Fried potatoes and onions
So many things

I rarely use my oven and don't have a microwave.
Do yo have / can you borrow a slow cooker ?
slow cooker - ( or very low light on hob )
Curry made with brasing steak ,
Chicken bacon & rice - chicken thighs cooked in either stock or Tinned tomatoes with chopped up bacon once the thighs are cooked remove them bone and skin them wrap up well in foil and cover them with a tea towel to keep you warm add rice to the remaining stock/ tomatoes and top up if needed. Once rice is half cooked chicken back in and peas / cirn and any other that you fancy.
Chilli
Spaghetti bol
Brasing steak , barely, carrots , onions ( this must be accompanied by crusty bread into wedges and about half a pound of butter )

Quicker meals
Omelette, chips and beans
Burgers in buns with side salad and chips
Sausage mash and gravy / beans
Grilled or poched fish with salad and new spuds
Loads of soups but my favourite is ham leek and potato -
Large ham shank bolied until cooked save the water . Boil spuds NO salt ( about 2lb ) drain
Fry two big sliced leeks in butter ( reserving some of the light green bit for garnish)
Mash about 70% of the spuds chop the remaining up into bite size chunks .
Shred the gammon ( save some for butties ) fry with the leeks for a few minutes
Add the mash , then bit by bit add the shank water until you get a consistency of soup that you want, but make sure it's not to salty first, add chicken stock or just plain water / half and half if it is .
Then add the chunky spuds . Heat through and serve with finely chopped leek and greated.

stir fry
rice dishes
mash dishes
brown dishes under the grill
poach fish

Ffs , grated cheese!

risotto

Get a halogen oven , about £30/40 ,I use mine most days instead of the oven and it’s way more energy efficient .

Paella or variations of

@Rummikub Mostly not stuff I'd recommend a toastie maker for if you have oven/hob/toaster.

But when needs must pretty much anything small fatty and frozen seemed fine and anything medium sized defrost first. You can fry vegetables in there.

I definitely remember frozen spring rolls, frozen (vegie) chicken nuggets, frozen sweet potato fries. And more normally fried bread, and eggy bread.

Also you can put almost any meal between two slices of bread, and if you use wraps it's less messy.
