When my wife is away I mostly use this to cook my food its easy to use and alot less time consuming rather then using the oven. I've made pizzas , I've roasted chicken and vegetables and even chicken nuggets and fries. Everything has turned out amazing and super easy . My wife however uses this in the summer rather then the stove she swears it keeps the house cooler. This would be perfect for a camper or a tiny house rather then installing a stove.
