There is nothing quite like shopping around for kitchen appliances. Whether you are buying the bigger ones or you are buying into the small, countertop options, you have so many to choose from. You don’t want to over-clutter the kitchen but at the same time, you want to make sure that you have the appliances you need.
One of the biggest appliances in the kitchen is the oven, but it’s not the only place that you can cook. When your oven is on the fritz, you can repair your broken oven yourself with the right parts, or you can wait for an expert to do it. Either way, you need a way to continue cooking even when you don’t have a working oven to use. Below, we’ve got a list of things that you can use in its place while you wait!
Grill
Whether you have one inside or outside, a grill is going to make a big difference to your ability to cook. You can use propane or charcoal, whatever works for you to get your grill working well. You can do the same foods inside or outside and there are so many different grills to choose from to make cooking easy for you.
Skillet
Have you ever heard of an electric skillet? These are like frying pans but there’s no need for a stove. You can cook so many different things in a skillet, from frying steaks to scrambling eggs. It’s a good way to cook as most recipes out there can be made in around 30 minutes or less in one. It’s a handy way to cook if you don’t have a working oven right now.
A slow cooker. Whether you use a crockpot or an official slow cooker, you can get so many different meals out of yours. You can buy them in so many different sizes, and they’re the best to just throw the food in in the morning and go back to your day! Crockpot cooking is easy and you can still make really healthy foods when you are without your oven, too.
Air Fryer
An air fryer is making a boom in recent years because it’s a handy way to cook without any drama. You pop your food in according to the instructions, roast, fry or bake and away you go! Air fryers are a genius invention and you can cook pretty much anything, from pizza to a roast chicken.
Microwave
These are a compact way of cooking and another way to cook is with a microwave. You can reheat your meals, soften ice cream and even cook a meal from scratch with the help of a microwave. For ease, you can split your use between your microwave and your air fryer. You don’t have to stick to one method of cooking – and that’s the beauty of the range of kitchenware that you can get these days!
Cooking without an oven is a pain, but it’s not the end of the world if it breaks down.
