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
low heat, partially covered with a lid, it will kinda work like a crock pot.
Try to use a deeper pot to reduce chance for boil over.
Might put a cookie tray under neath in case it does boil over.
The best way might be to seal it super tightly on a sheet tray. Rice cooking is weird, rice will only take it's dry volume in water, but the extra is to account for evaporation. If there's no evaporation, you don't need additional water.
Yeah, definitely going for an erstaz pressure cooker.
