Microwave grill? How does that work?
There is like a broiler or grill in the microwave. I did not know these things existed until I started this search.
CONVECTION OVEN IS THE BEST APPLIANCE EVER
If you steam things regularly and like rice a decent rice cooker is surprisingly versatile. Can steam veggies while cooking rice, has recipes I haven't tried for making stews as well. In college I cooked a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches in one.
I have a microwave with a broiler element on it. I wouldn't recommend at least my model, it takes forever to heat up, and I've accidentally microwaved things instead of toasted them. Let me tell you, a bagel microwaved for 7+ minutes is SHOCKINGLY terrible smelling, my old apartment was never quite the same. Entire microwave filled with thick yellow smoke, came out of the vents and stained the top of the fridge... lol.
Depending on what you cook, a toaster oven (or convection, but I've never had one myself) might be more useful to you.

LIES..
I've never seen anyone cook anything besides rice in the rice cooker..
I think it may be that even if you could, it'd take longer than on the stove.

I do it all the time. Throw a bunch of veggies in with the water and rice, even. Works great. Mine also has the steamer basket if you want to cook both separately, but I barely ever bother with that anymore. It may not be any faster, but it's certainly easy to push a button and just walk away.
I also visited some friends in Thailand a few years back, and a bunch of people did the same thing. The building they were in didn't have stoves in the units, so nearly everyone had a hibachi by the window and everything else was made in the rice cooker.
or you could buy a massive gas powered barbecue and spend time outside because the sun is apparently good for your health :p
No-one here just use a ****ing kitchen stove like me? xD
I guess you can have solar cookers in Florida anyway xD .No-one here just use a ****ing kitchen stove like me? xD
There's no stove here bro. It's like a NYC efficiency or something ^-^

Funny you posted this topic. The oven part of our range went out for some reason, and rather than having it repaired, we have just been using the stove. This weekend, my parents bought us an Oster convection toaster oven as an anniversary gift. It's the extra large model, which can accommodate 2 16" pizzas. We used it to bake some meatballs, which worked well, and yesterday I made some quick nachos in it using the convection function, and I swear it was as fast as heating them in the microwave. This thing is going to see a lot of use, I can tell. As an added bonus during the summer months, it doesn't heat up the kitchen like the regular oven did.

Problem with convection oven is that it doesn't heat as evenly as the regular oven..
They're bbbasically --bigger toasters.. --Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/embarrassed3-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862502)
No need to be a miser with gift cards ;) Buy once cry once and be completely satisfied with the purchase.
A gas stove and an oven are the best really. There is almost nothing you can't cook once you have those.
After that it's a matter of getting the right pans, pots, and cooking containers.

One of the few requirements my wife and I had when looking for a new house was either a gas stove or the ability to put one in. Once you cook on gas it's so hard to go to electric.

Ugh. We only have an electric stove and no gas hookup. My GF owns the place, so I didn't have a say in the matter. But until I cooked here, I had only heard of electric ranges. I never knew the horror until then, it's just so ridiculously difficult to control the temperature. I had to completely relearn how to cook certain things and it sucked.
It still sucks, really, but I manage.

I've been in that type of situation a few times. Did the compromise involve a nice barbeque grill? :)
I feel ya man, my apartment for quite a few years had an electric stove and I just so happened to be working at a restaurant in the kitchen, so coming home from industrial gas stoves to residential electric was pretty brutal. It does completely change how you need to cook certain things, and losing the ability to cook/char things like peppers, tortillas, or flatbreads sucks.
Electric is certainly usable, it's just hard to not miss the advantages of gas once you have used it.
