.... do you cook on the stove?

I've done a few things in the past, including soups and coffee in an older percolator. Today, I did part of a pork loin roast. Put it in a covered saucepan with some seasoning and just let it slow cook all day on top of the stove. Almost fall apart tender.

Nope. Our stove is in the basement and I'm afraid I'd forget about what's cooking down there.

Nope, I have one of the high efficiency inserts with no way to cook on.

Large Crock Pot these days. Set and Forget til the dinner bell rings. Cook once...eat for three days.

Our main heating stove in the living room is set up for cooking on top, and I've tried it a time or two.

But I built an 'auxiliary' kitchen for meat cutting and canning on the back of the garage, and put a wood cook stove in it should the need arise.

Yes, on and IN!

Sometimes I'll let it burn down to coals, and cook a steak or ? right over the coals.

I keep a 3 gallon water pot at all times and sometimes put the percolator on in the AM. Anything else is cooked on the stove where I can regulate the heat.

A pot of chili or other stews. During a prolonged power outages (days) we've baked chicken and lasagna in a double oven arrangement. Putting the food in a medium rectangular pan, then flipping over a larger rectangular an over the top making the makeshift Dutch oven.
