    Looking for portable oven

    Hi all,

    The house that I've moved to has an oven that doesn't work properly - its brand new but the landlord won't change it, its a long story

    So here I am stuck without one, I've been down to Harvey Norman and I've seen some that are around $700, they're ones that you can put into a campervan etc. My budget is around $200, has anyone got any ideas? I need to bake european style pastry so just the typical benchtop ones are just way too small, even if I changed the oven dish...anyone got any ideas apart from me throttling my landlords neck?

    I thought that by law landlords have to fix broken ovens straight away.

    My parents have this UFO looking thing htat they bought off tv. It can bake cakes, roasts and all that, maybe something like that is worth looking into.

    Our oven is really dodgey too, it burns stuff on the bottom & is still uncooked on the top & we can only use the highest shelf. The landlord wont fix it because apparently it works.
    So we are looking at the same, will be watching this thread
