HOW TO COOK FOOD WITHOUT A STOVE OR OVEN

Microwave cooking is a quick and easy way to prepare meals, like this microwave rice recipe, when you don't have access to a stove or oven. Depending on the model, there are several cooking features and presets that can be used to prepare a variety of dishes, like Sensor Cooking, broiler-like heat, Convection Cooking and Keep Warm settings. 

Learn how to steam vegetables, including broccoli and carrots, in your microwave for simple side dishes.

Select Maytag^® microwaves offer a Convection Cooking feature with an extra heating element and fan that allows you to bake, roast and heat foods like you would in a convection oven.

A slow cooker may be your best bet if you're looking for a low-maintenance and hands-off cooking approach. Slow cookers are like a countertop version of a dutch oven. The combination of direct heat from the pot, long cook times and steam cook food low and slow. You can make stews, roasts, soups and even desserts with a slow cooker, making it a convenient replacement for an oven.

Grills can easily be used as a substitute for a stove or oven, especially during the warmer months. Grilling is a cooking technique that uses heat from charcoal or gas to cook food quickly so you can move on to your next task sooner. You can use grills to cook anything from burgers and steaks to vegetables, fruits and even pizza.

Toaster ovens are a hybrid of both toasters and conventional ovens. They are usually smaller than traditional ovens and don’t require preheating, making them an ideal choice for cooking when you don't have access to an oven. Toaster ovens are designed primarily to reheat leftovers, toast bread and cook frozen foods, but they can also bake some of your favorite recipes in smaller batches.

Countertop ovens offer many benefits of a full-sized oven in a compact package. Some toaster ovens and countertop ovens offer more advanced features than simply toasting and heating. You can use a countertop oven to roast or steam fish for dinner and bake cupcakes for dessert, just as you would in a standard-size oven.

You can easily get a complete dinner on the table with the help of a KitchenAid^® countertop oven. Select models offer innovative features like Even-Heat™ Convection Technology to give your favorite recipes oven-roasted results.

Air fryers help you prepare your crispy favorites and reheat leftovers, including steaks, with only the touch of a button. An air fryer circulates hot air rapidly around food, similar to a convection oven. Since all the surface areas of the food are exposed to hot air, you can cook food quickly without having to submerge it in oil. You can use an air fryer to make reheat fried chicken, crisp baked potatoes, roast vegetables and more.
