I didn't know such a thing existed. I live in an apartment too, and I either slow cook or grill depending on what I'm doing. I have one of those George Foreman grills that was given to me that I use for making burgers, steak, bacon, etc. Then for larger or tougher cuts like eye of round or pork butt I just put it in the crock pot (slow cooker) for 24-36 hours and it tastes great.
