What do you mean cooking, a microwave is to reheat stuff. Do you not have a stove? Go dig a pit in the yard and buy some coals.

Allright no clue then friend. I've never used a microwave to actually cook. I dont even know if that is possible. Like you gonna put some chicken breast in it and blast it for a few min? I'd just eat some extra oats and quark.

You can easily boil water if you have the cookware for it. Anything that can be cooked just by boiling water (hot dogs, rice, eggs, soups) can be cooked in a microwave.

Get a crockpot, draws like 250 watts max and you can make stews/pasta/casserole/bake in it

Grocery stores have entire aisles of things for people to "cook" (reheat) in microwaves.

The only thing you can do legitimately in one is boil water. Nuking pasta or macaroni or something doesn't fuck it up too noticeably.

What did you think was meant by "all in one oven thing"? I know it wasn't very elegant, but it's still enough information for anybody with half a brain cell to realize it incorporated the entirety of their cooking facilities. I'm getting sick of trying to communicate with people who struggle so much to glean information from words.

Go outside to your grill and cook your steaks on that. If you don't have a grill, just use a communal grill with charcoal at a local park.

A stove is not part of the oven.

>what can I cook with just a microwave
reconsider this, microwaves aren't only bad for your physical health but also bad for your spiritual health. anything with a constant frequency above 1GHZ is bad for you.
>5 GHz and 2.4 GHz are dangerous because they both interfere with your body’s EMF’s and cause things like headaches, tinnitus, sleep problems, crib death, male infertility, cancer and DNA damage (especially in infants and fetuses). There are literally hundreds of peer reviewed scientific studies by scientists from all around the world showing these health problems.
Generally I would avoid using any technology that relies on bluetooth or wifi as the electromagnetic waves can be detrimental to your health. It will make you more depressed than usual. I suggest you moderate the time you spend in contact with the waves, I usually just have 3-4 hours that I am "online" then go "offline" for the rest of the day and I'm extremely more happy and healthy than I was ever before. Back then when I would use a bunch of bluetooth and wifi products I would get terrible sleep insomnia to the point where I would not be able to sleep for 30 hours and only get 4 hours of terrible sleep.

Just use a pan or steamcooker if you want to heat your food now. Hope this helps bro.

A plug in counter top stove could be a plan, boiled water from kettle makes a lot of foods that only need reheating like hotdogs and dried food like smash potato. microwave not so good at all for flavor or texture but will make most raw foods safe to eat, veg probably cook decent enough to eat. Boil kettle and half fill a mug, add 2 eggs and microwave for minute ish and you'll have some okay ish poached eggs. beyond that yeah get ready meals to fill the gaps.

How can you live in a flat with multiple people and not have a single stove?

They sell propane stoves made for tabletop use at asian grocers. My asian friends love them for hot pots (bland) or making those cabbage pancakes and octopus balls.

Better turn off all your lights too since visible light is in the 430 to 750THz range
That includes the sun

Do you mean cook or make hot? There is a difference.
