I turned around to put the milk away. *Attached Image:* For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	So here's the question.... What can I cook? I mean, I have plug-in appliances (beg steal borrow etc) but most require a stove component to the recipes. Can one live on waffles??

First I would be concerned to what caused it. Is it covered by home insurance. Have you contacted the gas people. Finally make sure it is turned off at the meter if possible. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Its quite scary how some "microwave " experts cook almost anything and manage to make it taste reasonable. I still have a vague fear of glowing in the dark after eating too much microwave food, ever since my mom had an old one in the 70's, you could actually feel your skin prickle when you walked past it.

Almost anyfood you could possibly want is in some TV dinner somewhere...or a TV breakfeast.... Inky

Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	I am learning to love nuked food Yesterday it was pumpkin risotto (packet) and tonight I did lemon couscous with no instructions Its not covered by insurance, or more, it IS, but we have a high excess, so it would only cover it if we wanted to buy the latest in kitchen technology bummer. Oh well.

We've used ours on the kitchen floor before when living in a house with an electric stove and the power went out at dinner time. Felt very primitive! The gas could get expensive after a while though. A cheap-ish barbecue might be another option - you can't use it for usual stove stuff of course, but you can do a lot with a barbie! The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	Excess on the insurance turned out to be quite high, so we just bought a new one outright. Apparently exploding stoves are common sigh The guy said about 6-8 years and they usually crack. Anyway, we bought a new 5 burner whirlpool dealy as we got a good deal on it. Now we have to save up for something to cook on it Piccies coming later For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

See, that's one reason I'm really glad we rent. Yeah, there's drawbacks. But we had the garbage disposal get stuck last month, and who paid the $90 plumber bill? Not us... We've used ours on the kitchen floor before when living in a house with an electric stove and the power went out at dinner time. OOh! Please be careful about using portable stoves/grills inside. I've heard about people getting carbon monoxide poisoning from this.
