Meal ideas with no oven? :)

Not quite the same as a roast, but what about a pot roast?

I've got a table top halogen oven which I now do most of my roasting, baking and grilling in it.

Love it ! Cheaper and quicker than doing the equivalent in the main oven and a lot easier to clean.

Ideal backup for a main oven or if you need extra capacity to cater for lots of people e.g.xmas.


Got mine from Asda for just under £50, but JML (the manufacturers) have them on offer at their website for only £29.95 at the moment.

I have just had mine delivered as I saw this last week. Went through quidco too so got £1.74 cashback that has already tracked.

My oven is awful as the door dosen't shut properly so cooking in it is very hit and miss, after reading how good these are on here I ordered and it is a good size, have to say I am impressed.

So, I killed my oven. The knob broke off right in my hand! Luckily I was turning it off as is happened. It's unfixable, so until I can find/afford a new cooker, I hoped some of you lovely Ladies could give me some ideas what I can cook for a family of 5 just on the hob and a rather pathetic grill that doesn't heat all over.
I don't usually fry anything, but I guess I might have to. One son will not eat egg, apart from in quiche. But apart from that we're not a fussy lot.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

When I was a student and had an awful oven, I stuck to doing different pastas and curries on the hob, so you could try a few of those. Hopefully someone will come along and give you some more meals suitable for families.

Mince dishes, spaghetti Bolognais, chilli, normal mince. Sausages can be grilled, as can chops. Casseroles and stews can be cooked on the hob. Curries and many one pot dishes.

Hi mustangsal,

Soups, stews, pasta and sauce, omelettes, curries, risottos etc are the first things I've thought of

Do you have a microwave? If so this thread may help

I'll add your thread to the first link later to keep the suggestions together.

Rice dishes, including risotos, grilled chops/steaks/burgers/sausages with boiled or mashed potatoes. Delia's sausage casserole is only of my favourites (just put the lid on on the pan, no need to use the oven).

Have you got a griddle pan? or george forman type grill? great for doing flattened out chicken thighs, steaks, chops etc...

I second the slow cooker idea as you can cook whole pieces of meat. You could also try pot roasting on the hob. bbc good food . com have loads of recipes.

Poached fish can be done in a frying pan with a lid (no lid? use foil).

Good luck.

The list is endless x
