    to be fair, learning how to make even boxed meals is still better than nothing if you’re from a home life situation where you’ve received zero food prep knowledge

      Not to be too picky, but boxed food usually aint the best for you. Now a class called “Shit you can do with rice” would be a killer way to go.

        And once you get $30 and already have a couple pots and pans, a rice cooker ought to be high on the priority list. They don’t have to be expensive, although some are, but they are so worth it for the convenience.

        I used to rarely have rice: it’s not hard to cook but you have to pay attention, and get the timing right, and it’s easy to screw it up. But getting a rice cooker was a game changer, and now I eat rice several times a week. While single use gadgets are generally not worth it, this one is.
