Cooking with less than 15 amps.

Any ideas on how to cook with less than 15 amps (American voltage) with plug-in ovens/something?

I really like full sized ovens, but say I didn't have one. Are there mini-ovens that I can get or something?! :biggrin:

I was just thinking how maybe if I had a HUGE UPS that I could have that thing plugged in all day and then use the full-sized oven that is plugged into that when I need it. (Only an hour a day at most I'd assume) That seems smart, but really not plausible... (and expensive)
 
Toaster oven and a hot plate give you a stove and cooking surface. You can get a really nice toaster oven for 250 and it will do everything a regular oven could do.

do you have a fire pit outside, if so, cook over an open fire.
Do you have a deck or patio, or even a yard? If so, get a grill or a smoker
If you insist upon cooking inside... do you have gas hookups? Use NG

If you don't have gas and you want to cook inside and you've only got a 15 amp circuit to work with, then maybe get a toaster oven or electric griddle.

Or, just get an electric waffle maker, and only cook waffles... problem solved!!!!!
 
Most kitchen appliances are designed to work on 15A even when they say they use more than that because 15A is the rating of over 80% of outlets in use. It was only in the last few revisions that they increased it to 20A in the NEC.

It's the limit on the fuse for a place I am looking at. It's cheap and has decent location. Also, I live alone for the most part.

Don't forget that fuse may be protecting more than just the kitchen outlet you are using. Even simple light bulbs could add up quick to the amperage rating.

Yeah, I'm trying to find that out. If this fuse is for the whole kitchen or what, because there is already a refrigerator in there... :hmm:
