So basically, our stovetop is broken and we don't have the money to eat out for dinner very often. We have a working oven and most of the standard kitchen appliances (no microwave, though). Short of eating vegan frozen pizza for dinner everyday, what can we do?
We've tried some gratins and lasagna, but neither were really worth the time and money (vegan cheese isn't very good here). A hot plate seems like a waste, considering that the stove will be replaced soon (hopefully). Would a microwave be worth it? Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Thanks everyone for the many suggestions! We're getting a hot plate (paid for by the landlord so that we don't get to reduce our rent) and I'll consider buying a slow cooker at some point. In the meantime, I have a lot of new recipes to try out now lol

It's a glass-ceramic induction cooker and there's a long, thin fracture on one side going from the bottom to the middle. The electronics work fine, it's just that it doesn't seem safe to use. I thought about simply putting some tape on it, but really I don't want to do anything risky when electricity is involved.
