Cheap meals using a microwave, grill and hob?

A remoska would help, wish I'd known about them when a few christmas's ago I was without a cooker for many weeks.

Lakeland stock them, they are brillliant.

How about a BBQ if the weather is really nice...

This sounds like an excellent idea to me too! especially as we are supposed t be getting some really hot weather this week (well, hot for the UK :rolleyes:).

I think disposable BBQ's are less than £2 at Wilkinson.....

Someone, somewhere will have a tabletop/students'/baby belling oven you can borrow.

I bought one while our kitchen was being taken to bits. It was £99 but well worth it for the luxury of being able to bake again. I can now lend it out to people and will perhaps come in useful for DD or DS when/if they go to Uni

HI

I bought a combined micro/grill/convection oven from Aldi, theyre in now and again I think it was £80 or thereabouts and it does pretty much everything a normal oven would on the convection setting, especially good for crispy things. Using micro and convection required speeds things up and makes ace jacket spuds. I hardly ever use my normal oven now.

As it says above, our gas oven and grill have died and we are going to have to wait a couple of weeks for a new one.

So, what can we cook with our hob and microwave without frying too much ?

Just after some ideas really, we have eaten chicken and rice, carbonara, and a form of shepherds pie so far !!

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Ps We don't like fish !!

Chili, curry, anything with pasta (& sauce), couscous, rice, jacket potato (microwave), risotto, paella, soup, mashed potato, omelette.
Make a kind of stew/casserole with tinned beans etc?

I don;t often have the oven on during the summer, but we have a hot meal most days

Pasta, pasta sauces, soup, rice, curry, stew

Loads more suggestions here; I'll merge this later to keep ideas together.
