Should I get rid of cooker

[Dsasd]

I have not used my cooker or the hob bit for over a year. Thinking I might get rid of it . But then what would I put in the gap. It would look a bit odd with an empty gap there.

Will you ever sell the house? I don't think people are ready for hobless/ovenless houses.

No this would be very silly.

No im in social housing

What would you need to get rid of it for?
You’d presumably have to replace it if you left if it’s council accommodation (I’m not 100% sure but I’d imagine you would have to leave it with the same amenities as it had when you moved in?)
I think it would be silly to remove it just because you don’t use it. There’s a sofa in my living room that no one sits on (because we prefer the other ones!), I wouldn’t get rid of it because it would look strange having a big gap where it currently is and nothing else would look normal in the space it takes up.

Housing associations aren't furnished.

It's her oven, why would she have to leave it?

My friend doesn't have an oven
She uses microwave, and 2 different airfryers. There's only 2 people in the house.

No everything in the house is mine. The himself was completely empty when I got it.

I’m curious, do you really not ever use them? How do you cook your food?

Yes this is very intriguing. Never use your hob? What do you eat and will your circumstances change?

Air fryer, pressure/multi cooker . Sometimes microwave.

Also fascinated by how someone feeds themselves never using hob or oven. I can get maybe not using oven - but never cooking any potatoes, pasta, rice, noodles, or stir-fry, or sauce, or anything at all on a hob...?!

I have 4 kids and I barley use my oven
I do use my hob though but very rarely the oven itself.

Can cook pasta in pressure cooker / rice/stir fryer is pressure cooker . I mainly have microwave rice though

It it's not doing any harm just leave it there - you never know when you might need it.

Plus, it will cost you time and effort to disconnect, remove, take to tip etc , then you have an ugly gap.

I'm sure people have a kitchen cupboard which is barely used but you wouldn't remove it because it was surplus to current requirements..

I'm also totally confused. How do you boil an egg, or steam vegetables, or make scrambled eggs, or pancakes/crepes (just to name a few obvious things off the top of my head) without a hob?? How would you bake a cake or a batch of biscuits without an oven?

Fair enough, sorry I wasn't sure if appliances were included or not.
Still think it would look odd to have a kitchen without an oven. We use ours every day!

Pressure/multi cooker does all of that .

I hate eggs so would never boil or scramble them and don’t think I have eaten a pancakes/ crepe in about a decade. I don’t ever bake cakes or biscuits, I wouldn’t eat these often and if I did would just eat shop bought. Obviously there are things that need an oven or hob to cook, but not everybody wants to eat those things regularly or has a strong preference for homemade. It’s possible to follow a balanced diet using other appliances like an air fryer, microwave, slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker etc and to either buy or just avoid the handful of foods that can only be cooked on a hob or in an oven.

In general I think most cookers are more durable and last longer than all the small appliances you have mentioned, OP, handy though they are. I have a really basic gas cooker that's nearly 10 years old for example and I doubt it will have stopped working in another 10 years. I will probably get sick of it before it gives up the ghost! 😆

No id leave it but would put in baskets and use it as storage after all you never know when you might need it in the future. As you say having a gap would just look awful and no point replacing it with a cupboard as you can use it as it is as storage.
