Cooking. You should be able to cook meals beyond sticking things in a microwave.
I'm so curious about that one person who downvoted this.
It must be Big Microwave astroturfing again
I'm guessing man child who thinks not being able to cook is a manly super power and gets very uncomfortable at the thought of mom no longer being able to cook for him in the future.
THE MEATLOAF.
FUCK.
i bought one of those 'old people veggie chopper' plastic things and it's really nice, it reduces the effort barrier to entry of cooking a meal any given night by a ton. like i know how to chop properly but being able to use the dumb thing makes getting up and starting to cook way easier
Typically I'd agree, but in this day and age and its emphasis on efficiency and lack of free time individuals get to spend with family and/or have a hobby - knowing how to prep nutritionally healthy foods in under 5 minutes can go a long way.
I eat a lotttttt of Soup, Frozen Vegetables and Frozen Protien. Its not glamorous but its better than spending an hour cooking every day.
Also, I hate cooking.
