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?

Risotto

Thanks everyone! Just a bit of a mental block this morning doing the shopping list.

I use the oven a lot, mostly lazy but I do sausages in the oven, tortilla pizza, tray bakes, pastry, chips, jacket potato, we have Kiev / breaded chicken once a week, roasted veg with Cous cous etc

I forgot all about the slow cooker, will be getting that out next week!

Thank you!
good to know. I might keep it now.

Eggy bread would be good to try!

No way!!! Are they any good? 🤯

Yes, they were! They weren’t all soggy either. Somewhere between a microwave and oven jacket.
your also meant to be able to roast a chicken in one.

I’ve done a brisket (but that’s basically a big stew). That was good

We quite often do gammon and chips, where one of us will cook the gammon / eggs whilst the other one is coming back from whereever via the chip shop.

no idea why we just don’t have a chippy tea

Can you borrow an airfryer?

Hibachi chicken and yum yum sauce I use whatever vegetables we all like

This is delicious

Spiced rice pudding on stove top. Works better with soya milk

Salmon pan fried

Maybe not the jacket potato and roasted veg, but everything else is doable on the hob.

@EvilPea I am defo trying them this week. Thanks for the tip.

Get some hot chicken/pork/gammon from the hot deli counter at the supermarket and have with salad/veg.

Buy cold ready poached salmon and have with salad/veg.

Cold quiche and salad.
Boiled egg and soldiers.
Ploughman’s with cheese, pickle, salad, pork pie and decent bread.
Cheese board with selection of cheeses, grapes, tomatoes, olives and bread/crackers. Or use charcuterie, salami etc instead of cheese.

Savoury pancakes.

Spam fritters.

Fried gammon steak with fried egg/pineapple and veg.

Have you got a stove top steamer, the type that sits above a pan of simmering water? That would increase the types of food you could prepare.

Other ideas are,
Poached chicken, serve with rice and a creamy sauce. Use the stock for soup.
Boiled gammon, serve with colcannon. Use any leftovers in sandwiches or Spanish omelette or pea & ham risotto. Use the stock for bean & vegetable soup.
Any number of pan fried meals, fish, pork chops, lamb chops, quick fried lambs liver, serve with mash or fried potatoes or rice.
Eggs in various ways, scrambled etc.
Hot dogs and fried onions.

Or now the weather is warmer, meals that don't need cooking at all, salads with things like tinned fish, cooked chicken portions (chicken Caesar salad) etc.

Get a ninja foodi, you'll never use the oven again and pay a fraction of the electricity costs. You can roast a chicken in one in 30 mins.
