Definitely NTA. And if you are looking for another place to live to make it more bearable in the meantime for the last months you live there it might be worth it to get an induction cooktop like this

So if your landlord complains about you using HER stove, you can just say that you bought your own and she can just screw off.
Or if you don't want to buy an entire stove, you can just buy a cook top.

We have stoves like this https://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-EX60LW-Explorer-Outdoor/dp/B0006VORDY and have dutch ovens. I belive this survival campout is where we build shelter and sleep in it. Made out of the materials around you, ex. Wood, leaves, etc. That is all I know at the moment i will let you know more when i find out tonight. We are going on the campout this Friday.
I have it too. It’s awesome. Sears steak super well when you crank it too

> Last but not least, not having coffee in the morning was rough. My personal want out of the situation is to have coffee the next time the power goes out.
Get one of these for $12 and you can plug that into your generator to cook.
If you have a kettle you can cook rice and beans.
Plus a one time purchase of an electric stove element means you can cook the same meals I do.
It’s easy to fail when you are always on the lookout for an excuse. You’ll succeed in life when you decide not to let minor obstacles get in the way.
do you at least have a stove range? Or not even a stove? Because if so, I would start with a 1-burner hot plate first!
Induction countertop stoves are really cheap anymore, you might do that instead if you've got a pot that will work with it. This is the first one to come up on Amazon, and its only 50 bucks https://www.amazon.com/Duxtop-8100MC-Portable-Induction-Countertop/dp/B0045QEPYM/
When I travel for work I bring an induction hot pad to cook with. Could that be an option? About $50 on Amazon
We use a Camp Chef.
Though it doesn't look like it, it is insanely sturdy.
I think that one.
We can run 2 waterbath canner at once, which is helpful if we are doing huge batches.
I tried it just now out of curiosity. My duxtop allows me to set it at 180, 200, and 220. Took a pic at 200 for your reference.

I feel for you, honestly it's one of my big fears in life (not kidding)
How about one of those portable induction burners (they're not that expensive and you can use the electric for "secondary" things ?

Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop, Countertop Burner Induction Hot Plate with LCD Sensor Touch 1800 Watts, Silver 9600LS/BT-200DZ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FLR0ET8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_3N2MGCFEQK0M8C60N97N
I have quite a decent soldering station with hot air - but for initial assembly hotplate wins by a large margin. Mine is a local noname, but it looks similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/Elite-Cuisine-ESB-301BF-Electric-Indicator/dp/B00C8C5I7I/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=hot+plate&qid=1612032711&sr=8-3
I'm also using an aluminium plate on top of it for more even heat distribution (so it happens that local flea market has a lot of strange stuff like various titanium and aluminium parts at low price, so I picked up some of them) - but as far as I know, a frying pan is equally good for that

Something like this would be my recommendation. If you end up going with a propane stove, be incredibly careful. They do come with carbon monoxide warnings. Even though I understand that they have to have that warning, carbon monoxide isn't something I play with. Being a former firefighter, that shit actually scares me sometimes....
Have you considered an induction burner? Then you can use different pans and easier to clean.

What country are you in? If you're in the US, the plug-in coil burner units cost around $10-15 shipped: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005T0SN0K/
Amazon has same-day and next-day shipping for a few extra dollars if you can't wait a few days...
Get a single-burner hot plate on Amazon. Bring cookware, etc. Also useful is a toaster oven. 12 bucks.

Even Massachusetts doesn't mandate that landlords provide renters of rooms with access to a stove or hot plate.
If the landlord is concerned about the fire risk of a hot plate, maybe would be okay with an inductive cooker?
High temperatures or low? I’m not sure you’ll get the performance you want at lower temperatures, even with small T increments.
We have a Duxtop unit from amazon. (https://www.amazon.ca/Secura-8100MC-Portable-Induction-Countertop/dp/B0045QEPYM) It still cycles at low wattages. After researching the issue, It’s my understanding that this is an electrical limitation and all units do this. We’re running off an inverter in an RV so I wanted to be able to use the stove at low heat without taxing the inverter, which is slightly undersized for the stove. I can literally stand there and watch the load & voltage cycle up and down on the battery monitor as I run the stove at the second lowest setting.
You should get one of these. It's 18 dollars with tax. Walmart has them for about 14 dollars, here Actually available for pick up at my closest Walmart.
The Amazon one is a lot nicer and 1000 watts. The Walmart one is fine and 1100 watts. The average cost for a kilowatt in the US is about 12 cents. (It's between 6 to 8 cents in Austin, Tx. depending on what tier you are) You would be spending about 4 to 7 dollars a month if you are cooking 1 or 2 hours a day every day respectively basically paying for it in the first month. Especially if you really are spending 18 to 22 every three weeks.
Side note: If you soak over night black beans take about an hour or about 12 cents each time. If you don't have refrigeration I would recommend just cook what you need each day. You can cook the rice in the end in the same pot together (adding in the rice at the end of course) I would recommend getting some Knor cubes (I like chicken but if you are vegatarian those are good also) They add about 5 to 10 cents to a meal. You can eat on 50 cents a day on that meal.
Do you have a refrigerator?
Doesn't need to be an "outside" one. You could use any cheap portable induction cooktop and drag it outside for use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045QEPYM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sMPQBbGGHWN9Q
It will work with your castiron.
how much time are we talking about?
Making excess Bolognese is my go to for microwave meals.
I would probably buy an electric hotplate if I only had access to a microwave for a significant amount of time.
ive never tried this and i may be remembering things wrong but using a hot plate is better because you have more control than if you used a microwave, is that correct? also im not even sure what a hot plate is exactly but when i searched it on amazon this was the top result which i speculate is what a hot plate is. but if you wouldnt mind explaining to me how do you use the hot plate to turn the either ket from a vial or the solution that youve made into a powder/shards? do you lay the solution onto the plate with the plate on a low setting and stir/move the solution around until it crystalizes? and what if some of it were to crystalize before the rest, wouldnt it burn and be ruined by the time the rest of it were to crystalize? sorry for so many questions i would just hate to lose so much if not all my product and it seems you have experience with this method
Yes! Works quite well for sear. I have this one. Top temperature is around 470ºF. Hot enough to sear, for sure (though not quite the same sear as, say, an open flame on a BBQ).
One word of warning; preheat your cast iron on something other than the most blazing hot setting. I like to start at about half power, let the pan get warm, then crank it up. If you go full blast on a cold pan, you'll run the risk of cracking the pan.
Your new best friend.

Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop - I've been using this one for 4 years, it's basically the only burner I use to cook stuff.
I've been using this Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop for about 3 and a half years and cast iron is virtually the only type pan I use on it. Duxtop is great because they have finer heat control, the unit cycles often in order to maintain a steady temperature, costs a little more but totally worth the added expense.
