Congrats for taking on such a big challenge. I am living in Sri Lanka with similar cooking conditions, but without restaurant pressure--so this might be helpful, I hope. Talk to the local bakery about renting oven time. They might be glad to have the business and you can bake larger quantities. I have a tiny oven, about toaster oven size, but its temperature controls are unreliable and it has a hot spot. For restaurant quantities, or even big family quanitities, the dutch ovens may be too small. Another possibilitiy is to look around for an old brick oven--some of the 19th c. homes and hotels had them, and baked a week's worth of bread in them. They burned dried coconut shells. Good luck!

If you can't get a "dutch oven," surely there is a wide heavy pot/pan in the kitchen. Be bold with your experimentation and I'm sure you will find success.

thanks all for the great advice! sounds like dutch oven's the way to go, but i'll have to make do with what the restaurant's got, so it'll take some experimenting.

here's another thought: charlottes and tiramisu made with packaged italian ladyfingers do not require any baking.

there are all kinds of british puddings that are steamed on the stove, and steamed boston brown bread. i just did a google search and came up with tons of hits.

another vote for the cast iron dutch oven! I have 5 different sizes of the darlings and couldnt live without them. SO and I camp alot so i can attest that just about anything you can bake in the oven can be done in a cast iron dutch OVEN. and ive even made cupcakes in one by putting in a layer of sand to keep the temp even. its just takes some experimenting to find what works best. Good Luck! (I envy you!)

I agree that looking for a dutch oven and look for either dutch oven cooking, campfire cooking or re-enactor cooking. (most houses in the US didn't have stoves until past the mid 1800's and cooked over the hearth.) If you can't find a dutch oven, look for a deep, covered iron frying or sauce pan.

When I was a kid we used to make pineapple upside down cake and different cobblers in a dutch oven while camping.

I'm also thinking something that is present in any culture is some sort of pancake. (pancakes, crepes....)

What a challenge! Neat!

You can easily do cakes and such in a dutch oven or other heavy pan. There are some camping websites that have tons of recipes. I have MUCH better luck cooking sweet goods like this over actual fire than a stove top, as you can use the ashes as the 'oven'.

Quick breads/cakes like banana, carrot, zucchini, chocolate etc. work great! So do 'upside down' cakes, as the liquids/fruits help keep the cake from scorching and make everything moist. Pineapple or other fruits in the bottom of the pan, cake batter spooned on the top.

Cobblers work well too, same idea. Brownies, pudding cakes (the ones that separate as they bake) and cheese-based desserts work like a dream. Less browning, as mentioned above, but still great.

Anything you can do in a hot water bath is also possible, like a baked custard/cheesecake etc. Just put the heavy pan into another pan with hot water up the sides. Putting fruit/brown sugar etc. on the bottom of these pans is also a good way to keep it from sticking/scorching.

Pie can even be done in a dutch oven, and you can brulee the crust after it is cooked by sprinkling with sugar. Gives you the browned look of pie, but the crust is softer rather than flaky. Avoid bottom crusts most of the time.

Meringue cookies work well in a dry dutch oven too, as do other things that can be baked low and slow.

Toaster oven is a great idea!

Can you order a small convection/toaster oven? I always bake my cookies in those. Why power up the whole oven for a single person's batch of cookies?

I'd try exploring solar ovens as an alternative.
