For those people who have electric stoves at home, the lack of electricity makes cooking impossible. And since blackouts in some regions can last more than eight hours, you need to find alternative options.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what foods can be cooked even without electricity and gas. The dishes are quite satisfying, so you won't feel hungry.

Food blogger Eduard Nasirov (my_happyfood) shared what can be cooked without electricity and what products you should stock up on on his Instagram page.

1. To cook buckwheat, you just need to pour cold water over it overnight - in the morning, the porridge is ready.

2. You can make oatmeal in the same way. But you can use milk or juice instead of water. Add nuts, fruit, honey.

3. Boiling water is all you need to make couscous or bean or rice noodles.

4. Also, if stores are closed due to a power outage, you can make simple flatbreads instead of bread.

Ingredients for flatbread dough:

• flour - 200 g
• hot water - 100 ml
• oil - 1 tbsp
• salt

5. In the presence of light, you can quickly boil potatoes in their skins. They can be stored for a long time and then you can cook many different dishes from them.

6. It is also worth stocking up on eggs, because they are perfectly stored at room temperature and are suitable for preparing many simple dishes. However, it should be noted that the price of such a product has become too high.
