We have a pretty posh apartment here in Baroda, which came with a kitchen kitted out with a stove (we even have mains gas here), microwave and a large double door (American style) fridge but no oven. That's because people here don't normally have ovens or bake, everything is cooked on the stove.
We went looking to buy an oven but you actually can't get anything decent here. So we bought a very basic electric oven. Even so, we can bake bread, flapjack, apple crumble, etc. We Westerns can't live without our ovens
