I remember one time a neighbor and I at the trailer park, we used her gas grill to cook scrambled eggs on lol.

You can also cook somethings using a dutch oven, or a fire pit outside.

Crock pots and electric skillets are handy too.

So lets dish, no pun intended on how you cook with out an oven, other than crock pots and electric skillets.

I make a nice big salad, or have cut up veggies and/or fruit, and then...I know this sounds disgusting because my sister thought it was awful, lol.  I started this while camping and was impatient about taking an hour for the charcoal briquettes to become coals...I parked the car in the sun and put cans of ravioli or chili on the dash board.  Half an hour or so later when you open them with a can opener, they're hot enough to leave a burn mark.  I haven't done this at home yet, cuz I usually park under my tree. 
 
When I was in Wyoming for a year as a kid, a science teacher did a show and tell on something called "solar foil"...it was like tin foil on one side and black on the other, and could be carefully washed and reused several times.  Each sheet back then was only ten cents.  A potato can bake in an hour, he showed us, if wrapped in this and set out in the sun.  The first time he showed us, he made everyone hotdogs.  If anyone finds a link for this stuff, I hope they will post it here.  I would love to use this in summer. 
 
In summer, I do a lot of stir frys.  I boil a chicken then pick the meat off and use it to make chicken salad or chicken salad sandwitches.  The oven rarely goes on.

Status: offline 		I have a nice set of stoneware (dishwasher, over, microwave, toaster oven, freezer safe) which let me cook in toaster oven (heat but less so) and microwave (contained heat so room not hot).

I do want to try engine-cooked pasta and ironed grilled cheese. Of course I also want to corrupt Aaron Eckhart (former mormon). I wonder which wish I might get first?

Anyone else hear of using a wok pan on top of an open grill (like you see in parks--bring your own charcoal or whatever) and getting good results?

Course I eat that kind of stuff cold and like it better than when it's heated up.

Cynthia, we don't even have a stove lol. We're not screwed though cause the other house does, but today I got the notion to boil eggs an didn't wanna stay in the house for 20 minutes* yes my moms stove takes about 10-20 minutes to boil eggs, it's sooooooooooooo damned slow* and I was like hmm can I do it out there in our house? But with no oven an no stove how?

There are links on this page with instructions on how to make one, or where to buy one.

ETA- It was so hot here today, I think I could have boiled eggs by putting a pot of water on the dashboard of my car!

Status: offline 		I have an electric turkey roasting pan. In fact, I have two, one in AZ and one in MT.  I use if for baking turkeys.  It's also great for cakes and anything else I want to bake.  I do have a microwave/convection oven in the motor home. The motor home is my full time home.   However, it heats the coach up so much in summer that I didn't bake much until I got the electric roasting pan.  Anyway, I put the roaster outside and have a remote temperature sensor so I can keep tabs on the temperature of my meat without having to go outside.

get an electric hotplate. A crockpot, and an indoor electric grill....oh and a toaster oven. They even make electric frying pans. And they're all pretty cheap.

John Brown's guide to urban survival points out you can cook on your car engine if you really need to do so.


About 20 years ago I worked for the state on a bridge repair crew and we traveled all over the state to various jobs.  Often we would put a can of chili or stew on the intake manifold of our truck and have a hot meal ready for us once we arrived at our destination.

Not long ago I got a food steamer and have been experimenting with that and have enjoyed it a lot.   No cooking oil needed and the only fat you might get is from whatever meat you might decide to throw in...and even the drippings will go on through into the catch pan.  I got one of the two tiered ones so you can start the things that take longer to cook like potatoes and carrots in the bottom part, then at the right time you just stack the second tier onto the first to cook the quicker things like broccoli, cauliflower, and peppers.  Often I'll add some lean turkey kielbasa to round out the meal.
