I have a 3 burner stove and I use all 3 often. I also have a microwave/convection oven and love it. When I need more cooking space I carry a toaster oven and a NuWave PIC. The PIC is a wonderful way to add an extra burner when needed and takes up little space. It works well for a larger pan and then you can use the stove for the smaller pans as you do have to be very mindful of the size pans you use on the stovetop. I know that this is something else to carry with you but it is an option that lets you cook inside or outside. You can also take along an electric skillet. Just options to think about. Most of the suggestions depend on your lifestyle and what you like to do.
