The stoves in most homes are electric. This is due, in large part, to the design of modern homes and the types of energy that are run to those homes. The obvious problem with this is that when the power goes out you also lose your ability to cook food.
When your stove operates on gas you have the ability to cook despite the electric running to your home. This gives you lots of options in a power outage. You can even cook all of the raw food in your fridge if you are sure to be out of power for an extended period.
A nice feast in the dark can be a fine treat!
If you are one of the many homeowners who depend on an electric stove to cook your food, you need options in a power outage. So what can you count on?
Sun Oven
There are all sorts of solar ovens on the market, and they are very impressive! They use nothing more than direct sunlight to cook meats from the raw state to completion. You can make a whole meal using these solar ovens and you won’t be disappointed.
Camping Stoves
Invest in a decent camping stove, even if you don’t camp. Having a propane-powered stove can be a great way to cook food during a power outage. They even have models with two burners to really get things going.
Fireplace
Don’t forget, you might even have a wood-burning fireplace or wood stove. These aren’t just for looks and heat. You can cook over that wood or on that metal top. Get some cast iron cookware if you are going to look at this method as an option.
Bonus: How to Make Pemmican, the Original Survival Food
Invented by the natives of North America pemmican was used by Indian scouts as well as early western explorers.
Native Americans spent a great deal of time on the go and depended on having portable, high-energy, highly nutritious, and filling foods that would last for long periods of time without refrigeration.
Pemmican is a portable, long-lasting, high-energy food. It's made of lean, dried meat that's crushed into powder and mixed with hot, rendered fat. This makes it one of the ultimate foods to have stockpiled for when SHTF or disaster strikes.

People really should avert their gaze from the modern survival thinking for just a bit and also look at how folks 150 years ago did it.
