Get a decent gas BBQ like a Cadac and you won't need anything else. Don't forget how much they weigh and how much room they will take up once set up

Other options get a slow cooker, a Romoska, Cobb BBQ, electric hot plate or Geroge Foreman type griddle

We've got a Cadac safari chef..it's awesome and a mini oven which weighs much less than a microwave. TBH we don't really use the mini oven, the cadac is enough!

We also have a big George Foreman 'spaceship' griddle, which, as old as it is, cooks a whole breakfast for 5 in one go!

We don't..but we do have a toaster...which means that many of our camp mals are of the "on toast" variety. We got a very cheap Te  sc  os one, that is fairly low watt. Think it cost about £6.

We are fairly new to FC camping...so I have not ruled out getting a microwave, but have so far no needed one, although getting a meal for 4 ready, and all 4 eating it at the same time is a skill I am developing (well, getting better at anyway!)

If you can afford it buy a combination oven, so that you have microwave and an oven. You need to have cookware that can rotate on the turntable or you don't have even cooking.

Took a cheap microwave in the fc plus a small halogen cooker,. Never used anthing else as it covered all cooking we did.

Now transfered both the the caravan we just got.  Got one from Asda stores. The halogen was given us.

 But so impressed we bought a bigger one for the home and did away with the electric cooker as we are all electric at home.

We had a Pennine Fiesta till a couple of weeks ago.

"Cooking" just the wife and I so not so bad, as we spend most of our hol out and about visiting places we tend to have our main meal in cafe's with good menu's while we are out so its just breakfast or teatime sandwich back on site, when we do cook on site its normally rice dishes or salads, as there is just the two of us our 2 ring gas stove and a toaster is fine, I have seen people with microwaves and and cookers going full pelt trying to feed 5 people which is great if everybody pitches in and helps after all its mums holiday as well.

My Combi oven came from Comet. If you don't have too many other things on you don't have a problem with the power.

Grunty, you can get a small m/w from a British Heart Foundation charity shop for about £40. I've seen several today at that price but latched onto a 2 x 400 watt (800W) heater for just for a tenner, which is far better than the one we run at present.
