By becoming a cook, you can leave processed foods behind

a stir-fry, a chopped salad, and the basic combination of rice and lentils, all of which are easy enough to learn in one lesson

Well, fried eggs with bacon or whatever else you want them with are quite easy to learn and quick to cook.

Also, I've learned to cook steaks recently, it's actually super easy - just heat the pan, cook 1 side for two minutes, turn over and cook the other side for two minutes!

Or get a cheap-o RC880 rice cooker and a $120 Auber PID controller and some ziploc bags, and you can make absolutely foolproof steaks, pork chops, chicken breasts, duck legs, rabbit, beaver tail, and what-have-you just by pushing a couple buttons.

It blows my mind that more hackers don't cook sous-vide.

I saw a sous-vide being advertised for about $300 from Costco; so surely more people are becoming aware of it!
