Dishes you can cook using just your rice cooker, microwave, and oven toaster.
I love to cook. And I love learning how to cook. Unfortunately, the place I live in right now has issues with kitchen stove: the typical gas-powered one is not allowed for safety reasons; while the electric type is not allowed due to ventilation issues.
But like they say, you always always fight for what you love.
Using just the 3 condo-living kitchen appliance must haves, here are some of the dishes I was able to whip up in our small, limited yet functional kitchen:
 |
| Shrimp mac & cheese, grilled broccoli, mashed potatoes with tomato puree, apple slices with honey. |
Shrimp mac and cheese:
Combine shrimp, cheeses (I used Parmesan and cheddar), milk and elbow macaroni, then cook it in rice cooker.
Grilled broccoli:
Blanch it in hot water first, then grill it in the oven toaster
Mashed potatoes and tomato puree:
Use rice cooker to boil the tomatoes and potatoes.
Once you've added all your ingredients to make the mash and the puree, use microwave to cook.

| Grilled salmon belly with potato salad |
Grilled salmon belly:
Season with salt and pepper, grease your oven pan with melted better.
Once cooked, squeeze some lemon on it.
Potato salad:
Steam your potatoes, slice it, then top it with home-made chicken spread.
With a little creativity, you could definitely make some delicious dishes even without a stove. Even Joe Bastianich would love them!
