Inventive cooking methods. Not dishwasher salmon but what's your best cuisine in extermis triumph?

[KnopkaPixie]

Unless you have ever made dishwasher salmon, of course. I haven’t got an oven at the moment and I managed to make a proper layered lasagne with béchamel that went brown on top in a deep frying pan with a lid.

Camping? Holiday flat? That sort of thing.

Fish fingers and potato waffles in the toaster was a favorite when we were without a kitchen.

I have a wonderbag - brown meat and veg, add sauce of choice, bring to boil, drop the whole pan into the wonderbag including lid, it tea towel over pan lid, put wonderbag lid into place and draw the string, leave for 6 hours ... I've opened the bag in all kinds of places, camping, on boats, even flew with it (domestic flight of course)

realised I could cook a pre made pie on a camping stove when travelling in Oz (they have THE best pies)

I once forgot the camp stove for a camping trip 😫. I'm coeliac too so eating out is challenging. Luckily we had electric hook up and a kettle and toaster. Tuna and smash fish cakes cooked in a toaster bag anyone? With beans heated by standing the tin in boiling water for ages!

You can cook an omelette in a sandwich toaster

Breville. Microwaved beans. Burn a load of leaves in the garden and shove a steak on a stick above it? Haven't tried that one, admittedly.

Did you use a toastie wax paper bag or did you just raw dawg it?

I haven't tried it, but saw a programme where they did:

What appliances DO you have OP? I've also made lasagna in a slow cooker- but it was such a faff and still required cooking on a hob. Do you have an electric fry pan? Air fryer? Hob? Microwave?

Just lay the toaster on its side so it's basically a grill and bung then in. Got to be good fish fingers that don't loose their insides into your toaster though

I made jacket potatoes with a choice of fillings, for six, last year in the log burner when the power was off for two days. 😁

followed by warm mince pies and hot coffee.

At the risk of sounding like a wanker, I use my popcorn machine to roast my own coffee beans, they're much less dark and bitter tasting this way.

I've got a hob, a microwave, a toaster and a breville. A world of oppotunities really.

No oven, no dishwasher, no trouser press, no hair straighteners, no car engine, no magnifying glass and a pile of dry grass

Oh, I do have a bun tray and could buy some tea lights to cook an omelette. I've seen that in a hurricane survival video by a very nice lady called Pam. She always says, ''Come with me, I'll show you what to do!" She's very capable.

I have previously made some surprisingly successful bread in a hole in the ground. Dig a hole (carefully retaining the turf "lid"), light a fire, when you have a lot of good embers shovel them in the hole, put your dough in a biscuit tin in the hole, replace "lid". Wait....er....for a length of time and voila!

(The spaghetti cooked in a tin over a fire of wet twigs in a tarpaulin shelter in the middle of a rainstorm not so much...)

What breville appliance- the brand makes hundreds of items? Do you mean a toastie sandwich maker or something else?

Toastie sandwich maker. But obviously you can cook anything up to a full English breakfast on it with a little dexterity.

And did they pop out perfectly onto a plate like an edited out moment from the Morecambe and Wise breakfast sketch?

Oh I was going to say about the ironed cheese toasties in Benny and Joon, but you have a toastie maker!

Jamie Olive Oil recently made a lush-looking toastie using wraps… they had eggs in them 😋

No sadly you have to fish them out with a fork. Disclaimer: do not stick metal things in the toaster!

I’m now nostalgic for the ironed toast we used to make at (boarding) school. Mother’s Pride, press down for crisped perfection.

Spag bol on a barbecue when staying in an all-electric holiday cottage that had a power cut!

Just picked the oldest pans and used them on the barbecue grill - worked a treat :-)

Nobody's done the dishwasher salmon?

My most useful cooking without an oven tips would be you can use the sandwich toaster to make homemade pasties, pies and cakes, although you can make cakes in the microwave.

My most interesting dangerous cooking in extremis stories are using a propped up electric bar heater as a hob and toaster, roasting an entire sheep buried in the ground with hot embers, and the idiot carrying a loaded Uzi who tried to deep fry a huge vat of chips over an open fire then, when the oil went up in flames, poured a jug of squash on it to try and put the fire out. The fireball was impressive… They then used the gun to poke the hot vat away from the fire 😮 Luckily, no one was injured.

Can you tell me more about this please? It sounds awesome.

Those Air B&B's in Afghanistan can be a very mixed bag, n'est-ce pas?

Please tell me what this is and where to get one!
