I have no gas until Tuesday and need tips on what i can do for New Year dinner that doesn't need cooking I have a gas cooker, it's times like this i wished it was electric grrrr

I'm tempted to nip to the shops and get a combo microwave in Argos today but want to know if you can cook roast dinners in them and how?

I got a Delonghi combi micro from Argos and cooked a ham in it this christmas. I probably haven't utilised it as much as I could but it has micro, grill, convection or a combination. It was worth the money I think as after this christmas I will probably use it a lot more.

Would a slow cooker be cheaper? Lots of recipes in the index for cooking complete meals in one.

What else do you have at your disposal? Is your hob electric or gas? Do you have a slow cooker? Can a neighbour help out? Do you have a microwave?

Does it have to be a roast dinner? It seems like a lot of money to fork out for one meal. If you have a working hob, you can make for example, pan fried chicken with mash, sprouts and carrots. I think you can get frozen yorkshire puds that go in the microwave?

If you don't have a hob at the moment but have a slow cooker and microwave, you could do a steak or pork stew and do your veggies in the microwave?

How about a New Year barbeque??

Never fancied it myself but I know people that do

Do you have a dishwasher? You can cook all sorts of fish in it, including whole salmon.

I did have a slow cooker, but the kids never liked what i cooked in it. There is one half price in Argos, any good and how can i get the kids to like it

Have a look through the recipes on the links in this thread.

If you have a hob or microwave, you'll only need to do the meat in it.
