1) Rice Cooker, which can double as a slow cooker and bread baker. A second bowl and lid for it is handy, but not essential. 2) Large toasted sandwich press, which can cook all sorts of things include browning roasts, frying steak, eggs, bacon, make naan bread etc etc. I have even done excellent butterfly leg of lamb and flat chicken on my sandwich maker. We call ours the UCD (Universal Cooking Device). 3) Electric kettle. That should do you for 99% of what you might want to do if you are a little creative. Microwave is handy, but not essential if you are prepared to be a little more patient with thawing etc.
