When we got up a week ago, we noticed that the stove was flashing "F1". After a little research, we discovered that it was the electronic control panel and would cost about $350 to replace. The stovetop works fine, it's the oven that's not working. We were a little disgruntled--it's been an expensive summer!--but by the end of the week, we had visited our local Sears store where we purchased a whole new stove for $399, including taxes. Unfortunately, because I don't like black or stainless steel appliances and white doesn't match our refrigerator and microwave, the new stove had to be ordered in bisque and won't be here for 10 days.
Well, we are not among those who never use their oven. We bake a lot. What were we to do? Here's our solution:
Both of these lovely items were cooked on our gas grill. The bread turned out great and was delicious. The blonde brownies were a little overdone on the edges and a little underdone in the middle, but overall, very edible. I have to give Rene credit for operating the grill. I feel good now. In the case of emergencies, I'm glad to know that we can still make bread and yummy treats. (As long as the propane tank is full, that is!) And by the way, the stove is no longer flashing "F1". It is now flashing "F3".

If you have a NESCO roaster, that also works as an oven. I use it sometimes in the summer so I don't have to heat my house. Takes a little longer, but comes out great.
