In reply to the discussion: Why can't people use food stamps to buy hot/cook foods? [View all]diabeticman
(3,121 posts)31. yeah both the stove part and oven. Right now our new landlord won't switch out his
crappy stove with ours that he made us store in his basement. The stove we have only 1 burner works and the oven took a long time for my wife to get it times right. She put in biscuits to cook and they burned before the 13 min bake time on the container. YES my wife knows how to cook and follow directions. She set the temp and then started taking care of something else she smelled them burning and when she pulled them out the tops completely burn and the undersides not even cooked.
It took our friend time to save up enough money to get his stove fixed.
