Actually cooking for real is more leet fyi

or get instant beans and rice that only needs boiling and simmering for 20 mins. can be had very cheaply in bulk. add spices, vegetables, and optionally meat and you have a very fast very healthy meal. cook in bulk and freeze in tupperware and you can make microwaveable instant meals that are dirt cheap and good for you.

I've mentioned before: Microwave a sweet potato. If you don't have a turntable microwave, flip and rotate it once, approximately halfway through the cooking cycle. They sometimes initially cook unevenly; the trick is to let it sit for some minutes after the microwave turns off, so that the latent heat can distribute and finish the cooking process.

Top with (brown) sugar and cinnamon, a bit of maple syrup, or perhaps something savory (I haven't tried the latter; I'd be interested in suggestions).

10 - 12 minutes to a nutritious meal or snack. Sweet potatoes keep showing up on lists of "super foods"; they are apparently quite nutritious (much more so than white potatoes).

P.S. Rinse/wash the sweet potato, first, and BE SURE to use a knife to poke some deep slits into it. Unless you enjoy minor explosions and cleaning the inside of your microwave.
