[quote=Anonymous]Or renovation took 4 months. We set up a temporary kitchen and dining area in the basement, as our regular dining room and living room were part of the renovation.

For appliances, we had:
Ninja air fryer / toaster oven combo (this was awesome for fish & chips, chicken cutlets or tenders, toast for breakfast, and so much more - definitely the workhorse appliance)
Microwave
Plug-in induction burner (great for making pasta, which my kids could live on)
Slow cooker (definitely get liners to make clean-up easier)

The only problem was that running any two appliances at the same time would blow a breaker, so I had to plan any cooking to only use a single appliance.

We also grilled a lot.

For dishes, we tried using a bathroom sink - but honestly I ended up finding it easier to just set up another card table with two Rubbermaid bins. Fill one with hot soapy water, the next with hot clean water for rinsing. Really wipe each dish off with a rag before putting it in the soapy bin. Drying rack next to them.

We used a lot of paper plates. I gave up on being environmentally conscious for 4 months. We also got an easy takeout at least once a week - and usually ordered enough to have leftovers for lunch a couple of times. [/quote]
