This is a pretty strange request. How do you cook without electricity? Is common sense and practical knowledge really so lacking such as the know how to use a couple of cooking pots over an open fire or a gas stove etc, or are people really trying to rig up car batteries, inverters and microwave ovens because the TV dinner says to microwave the package on the instructions?

Are there really people out there who would stare blankly at a potato, then say 'what do you expect me to do with this?'

Apparently I even heard from some news reports that the first hot meal some folks had after Hurricane Ike had passed through days earlier was when McDs had opened up for business. Surely that must have been one of those news media 'dramatic' exaggerations!


Cooking without electricity isn't a problem, its doing the washing up afterwards thats the problem..
