Okay, hardly ever bother with toast.

Because the cheapest ones are shit (and expensive for what they're worth) and I'm not going to be able to buy a £600 cooker any time soon. I'm talking about when I move. Those gas hobs are about £25-£50.

I've never been in a rented place that hasn't had a cooker and I've always been in unfurnished properties. I'm pretty sure there was a cooker when my mum moved into her council flat.

No electrical supply, at least not from the grid.

You gonna rely on a wind turbine or something?

Nah, my place won't have a cooker, I can guarantee it.
I'm going to stagger my white goods - first thing will be a fridge (and gas hob), second will be a washing machine, third will be a cooker.

What about a combo mircowave/grill thingy? There's one there for £60 and it doubles up as a toaster, so that's £20 saved. Not instead of a gas hob, obv.

Tagine would still be the thing to roast things in though. They're amazing things.

I don't use microwaves (I really don't, none of you can go off and find loads of threads in which I use microwaves ) and I genuinely don't think I'd need it with my gas hob meal wizardry.

It's something I'm thinking about for the future. I'm more inclined to solar power but not ruling anything else out. However I generate the power its going to have to be stored in a battery, and so limited

In that case you can (probably still) get decent mini-oven-grills that are similar, and maybe a tad cheaper. I survived with one of those and two electric hotplates for years.

You couldn't do a decent roast with just a hob, or could you?

Pot roast.

 

[soulman]

Pot roast.

All in one pan?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

A griddle pan is a useful thing to have.

 

[Cid]

All in one pan?

If it's big.

Useful for 'grilling'.

 

[soulman]

If it's big.

Could I get a a joint and roasties in it, and how would they taste?

See tagine post.

If it works I may never need an oven!

Woohoo! I just got £600 richer!

 

[soulman]

Oops I missed that first time around for some reason. Hope they're not too expensive.

Ikea do one, I'll be very surprised if it's more than £30.

I'm very surprised.

John Lewis do one which has the added bonus (if you're that way inclined) of not being teflon coated.

 

[soulman]

Made from thick anodised aluminium with Teflon® Professional non-stick coating

I thought the whole point was what they were made from not just the shape

Yeah, me too, I'd previously assumed it was terracotta.
