WHAT'S COOKIN'? Other than me, if in the sun today, it's my popcorn in the cooker. This is my stove with the butagas (butane) tank underneath, which has a dual connection to my adjacent oven. The kettle is mostly used to heat water for bucket baths, and in cooler weather, my herbal tea. The pressure cooker is a basically a mandatory household item in the Moroccan household. You might say is serves as their microwave. Mine is old and the pressure part is broken, but I use it to cook most everything, as it's the only pot which has a lid! It does make wonderful popcorn, which I have on a regular basis. I buy it bulk in the next town; it costs 9 DH a kilo. To exercise your internet skills, you can find a website that converts currency and also one that converts to the metric system!
If the oven looks like a tin box, that's because it is. I mainly use it to make banana bread every couple of months, which I usually have with Laughing Cow cheese (the only kind I can buy in my town) for breakfast. Not only am I too lazy to make Moroccan flat bread, I try to eat other, healthier carbs instead. Occasionally I will buy bread from the store; it is quite cheap. And, when I visit homes here, tea and bread is generally offered.
