A lot of people giving good advice at how to become good at cooking. I will give advice at how to coom at a bare minimum level.

Pasta Boil according to Pavket instructions, add jar of sauce. You have cooked a totally legit meal. Consider leveling it up by adding cooked meat/vegetables to the sauce. E.g. fry bacon, chop it and add it in. Mix in spinach leaves.

Pizza Buy a pre-made pizza base, cheese, “pizza sauce” and your favorite toppings. Assemble and put in the oven for like 20 minutes. Topping ideas include all cold meats, e.g. pepperoni, whatever vegetables you like, e.g. capsicum, and anything from the jarred food aisle. E.g. olives, artichoke, eggplant.

Chicken Buy Chicken breast, buy a spice mix which looks nice, buy a thermometer. Coat the chicken in the spice and cook at 180 degrees C until the temperature inside the chicken reads safe (often the number is printed on your thermometer, or just Google it) this might take ~20 minutes You can eat this with a salad you also bought, chop it up and add to tomorrow’s pasta, or to sandwiches, on a pizza base.

egg and rice Cook rice according to packet instructions, fry an egg. Add on your favorite chilli sauce. I go through a jar of Chilli Crisp (Lau Gan Ma) every two weeks thanks to this one.

At the bottom of the page is the recipe. Although specialized equipment necessary is a bit of an understatement

Thankyou :D
