When I moved from Scotland to Hungary in 2011 I had to leave my old Tricity Tiara electric cooker at the cottage, as the letting agents said a cooker was required equipment for unfurnished lets. It would have been no good in the Hungary house in any case, as the electric supply is too low amperage to feed an electric cooker.
When I did the last of three moving trips I knew I would need to cook meals from day one, as there was a Workaway volunteer coming to help me unload the van etc. I therefore stripped out the old Flavel caravan stove from my 1976 Toyota Hiace camper and took that with me. It also came in handy for doing food and drinks during the 1600 mile drive to Hungary.
The 2 burner caravan stove was only ever meant to be a temporary measure as I planned to buy a new, standard size stove in Hungary. The problem has been that I want one with a grill and they don't seem to sell them with grills here. Hungarians do a lot of frying whereas I tend to grill everything. I am now preparing the Hungary house for renting out as I am on the move again, this time to Croatia. I already have the house in Croatia and it has a gas cooker but again with no grill. I would now like to put the Croatia cooker in the Hungary house for the tenant and buy a new cooker with grill for the Croatia place. I now get to the point of my post, is grilling a cooking method only employed in UK or are there other, nearer countries where I could buy a suitable cooker, like Italy, Austria, Germany or somewhere?
