My hob isn't working..how can i.......

[idobelieveinfairies]

cook pasta?? I was thinking of buying fresh pasta and letting it sit in boiling water from the kettle?? Would that do anything?

Also potatoes and veg i could just slow cooker them rather than boiling then can't i? How long do you think it would take to get them cooked in a slow cooker, it has a low,med and high temp setting. Has/does anyone ever do this??

Thanks :)

Even if the hob's not working, is the oven OK? Most things (not pasta) will bake fine in a casserole dish. Put things that take longest in first and things with a shorter cooking time last.

On the pasta thing.... the thinner chinese egg noodles you can get are OK after sittingin boiling water for a few minutes. Cous-cous isn't bad either. Do you have a microwave?

my friend cooks pasta in a microwave. Actually she cooks everything in a microwave. She was just telling me today she made a apple and victoria sponge in the microwave. Not much use though if you dont have a microwave.

yes! i do have a microwave..i had forgotten about that, and it says it does all sorts :/ don;t know how it works though.....how do you do pasta in the microwave then...its mostly wat my boys eat!

You can't do pasta in a microwave unless you're reheating it after it's been cooked already. You can cook rice, potatoes, cous-cous, quinoa.... Pasta needs to boil in plenty of water.

ok, so pasta is going to be a problem then :/

SO tuna pasta bake, iusually i just make the pasta and sauce add the tuna, melted cheese on top and serve it up. CAn i put it all in a oven dish and cook it then? I have fresh pasta.

You can whack it all in the oven and it'll cook. make sure the sauce is not dry and that it completely covers the pasta, or all you'll end up with is burnt pasta.

And, instructions for cooking pasta in the microwave.

Most veg can be cooked in the microwave too!
