The only thing is - that is all you will be able to do when you bake, is
bake. I mean:

Forget about heating vegs, or making coffee or boiling pasta etc, because
you have no elements left to do that with.

Perhaps you can improvise an oven, with an aluminum roaster on top of your
frypan?

That way you would have another element free.

Anybody else tackled this?
