Help! my electric range is on the fritz! What should I make for dinner tonight?

Asked by Strauss (23622points) February 3rd, 2013

The other day I was cleaning the oven, and even though everything was off (except, of course, the clock) the stove started popping and sparking from the back! I immediately threw the breaker switch for that circuit and then unplugged the appliance. No fire (whew)!

Now here’s the conundrum: Groceries are no problem, but due to my cash-flow situation (the cash just won’t be flowing!), I won’t be able to replace the range for a few weeks. Going out or takeout will be an occasional option, but again, it would be cost-prohibitive to do it for every meal. I don’t have a microwave (by preference), but I do have the following electric appliances: Rotisserie cooker, crockery slow-cooker, broiler/fryer, griddle, small deep fryer, coffee-maker (drip style) and espresso maker.
