Here’s something that has worked pretty well for my girlfriend and me:
We have found a few recipes that are (1) relatively simple, (2) we both like, and (3) scalable and once every ~3 weeks, we order a bunch of groceries from a delivery service and have a ~4 hour cooking session where we cook them all at once. We eat out or get takeout about twice a week, and the massive cooking session produces all our other dinners for the 3 weeks. We freeze most of what we cook and then when we want something, we microwave it.
Vapor/Steam ovens are also quite good for unfreezing frozen stuff, and I’m not unhappy with the results from classic ovens either. They’re certainly less noisy than the Microwave, and consume less inductive power (an electric engineer’s concern).
One thing I strongly dislike about microwave ovens is that they tend to heat recipients as well as contents, and I’ve often found that the glass was hotter than the beverage!
