I have a microwave, toaster, Georgeforeman and a bbq and never have a use for the cooker.

The George foreman comes in for all meats, eggs, mushrooms, unions waffles, all sorts really and the rest gets done in microwave, can boil rice and pasta in micro,

With in being holiday too, if we do a dinner as such we use tin carrots, peas, pots, ( also can stock up and leave in cupboard ) chicken breast on George foreman, carrots, peas and pots on microwave and some bisto gravy.

So we don't use cooker at all, I'm even thinking of removing the over and hob for more cupboard and side space.

Its a funny old thing. you open it up butter or spread 2 slices of bread place in butterside against the metal then you put in your filling close up and sit on the hob turning half way.
I was brought up with camping food from one and picked up ares at a jumble sale 20p
You can put allsorts in it. are regulars were beans or cheese and ham for breakfast for dinner we would have things like tinned stewing steak. and we even had pudding still using bread but filling was tinned apples. supprisingly tasty. ideal for if you only have minimal cooking facilitys as only need one hob.

After looking at all these recipes, and the different items people use to cook with, nobody seems to mention toasted sandwich makers. Does anyone use one of those anymore?

Tuna and sweetcorn Chowder

A really quick very tasty one pan recipe

depending on how many poeople 4-5 large potatoes diced to about 1/2 inch size, 2 onions chopped , 1 or 2 small tins of sweetcorn (use the juice it comes in as well), 1-2 tins of tuna in oil or brine (drain them first), grated cheddar cheese (stronger flavour the better)  Chicken stock (1 or 2 cubes are fine). 1/2 to 3/4 pt of milk. Loads of fresh ground black pepper

Put Onions and pots in large pan. Cover with boiling water from the kettle or cold it doesnt matter add the stock cube(s) and black pepper. Bring to the boil cook until potatoes are done. Add tuna, sweetcorn bring back to the boil, Add milk (as the stock will have greatly reduced) Finally add the grated cheese and enjoy.

 

1/2 an hour tops

We just cook as we would at home as we have an oven, microwave and grill plus hob. Going away often we've found eating a lot of processed food to save time increases weight gain! I've made a good pasta bake in the grill pan, then placed in the oven. I'm willing now to take a little longer preparing and cooking food to keep on top of weight.
