Last week I shared on Instagram that my range took a plunge and the oven element broke. The oven itself is came with the home when we bought it, so knows how old it is and it’s just a basic electric range. It worked fine and honestly I can make a cake in a fire with a Dutch oven, so it was never really a problem. I will say, it’s incredibly exciting to get a new range! But this also got me thinking, how about a small list of foods that you can make with NO OVEN at all? So here it is. 6 Easy Recipes you can make with a stove top, slow cooker, or air fryer (and one that doesn’t need any cooking at all!).
