If you are morally opposed to cooking you may be morally opposed to troubleshooting and repairing your stove, but here goes some tips.
Most of the time on an electric stove, oven and dishwasher dry cycle the heating element is the culprit. On all, the heating element can be easily removed once the units power source (fuse/circuit breaker) is turned off.
Once element is disconnected, take a continuity tester obtained at your local hardware store or Home Depot and touch to each end of element. If tester does not light up, you need a new element. If it lights up, Element is good and your problem would be somewhere else within the appliance, possibly a loose wire terminal or selection nob.
On a gas appliance, you should hear a hiss and smell the gas and if not lighting, your starter electrode is probably bad, or has a loose wire connection. Make sure the appliance gas supply is turned off and well vented before working on it to troubleshoot.
If you have the make, model number and serial number you should be able to purchase at an appliance repair parts house, or even find it on Amazon, as they seem to have everything, and obtaining more ans more.
