Posted this fish/meat/veggie steamer earlier this week in a DD
Completely worth buying. Shits changed my meal prep completely. Would highly recommend. Microwave two 4-5oz chicken breast filets in 5min flat. If you're afraid of bland chicken, buy a tray pack on the weekend, filet/butterfly them, throw them in a Ziploc bag with marinade. Then all you have to do is pull them out of the bag, throw them on the steamer, throw that bitch in the microwave for a bit, and done. It can also steam veggies and small potatoes.

This egg cooker
Hate boiling eggs because it takes too long? Gotta wait for the water to boil, then put the eggs in, then wait for them to boil, then cooldown. Etc etc. This is the shit for you. 6 Hardboiled eggs in minutes while microwaving your chicken/veggies. No cleanup required. Breakfast made in minutes.

Rice Cooker
Personally, I love rice, because I'm Asian. Also because it can be tasty as fuck. What I hate about rice, though, is how long it takes to cook in an electric cooker. I don't have 3hrs to wait for rice to cook, nor do I want my rice to sit in a cooker for 10-12hrs before I get to serve it (setting it in the morning, getting to it at night). But this shit here? Cooks in minutes. Fresh rice every day. Throw some salt and/or a little bit of butter (spray butter works for even distribution) for a bit of taste.

Meal prep should take less than 30min a night for 4-5 meals a day with minimal cleanup. Fresh food made every night. Simple enough that Helen Keller with a nub for an arm could've done it. You have no reason to have a fucked up diet now.
Your best bet for ramen at home is going to be pasta-cooking inserts.

Yea, I'd like to second the large pot idea. I do all my cooks in something like this, only the like $10 version you can get at most supermarkets. If it's longer than 2-3 hrs, cover with ping pong balls and you're good.
...Or you could get the Japanese one for $1.50 (Pasta) /// $3.00 here if you can't find a Daiso near you
$3.20 if you just need the ramen version
$12.99 on amazon
Plus, cleaning that contraption seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth, even if it's dishwasher safe.
You're welcome! Making blocks of brown butter was worth buying them for that feature alone! If you don't need an army-sized quantity of pasta, I have a great little kitchen tool called the Fasta Pasta ($15 shipped on Amazon) that lets you microwave your noodles:
My procedure is:
This actually does a phenomenal job of making al dente pasta! You'll have to adjust it according to your microwave; it comes with an instruction sheet, but I pretty much just fill it up with noodles halfway & then fill the rest with water to the inner lining & it does a good job regardless of what shape of pasta I use. It makes enough for 1 or 2 people. They did come out with a larger family-sized model, but I haven't tried it: (yet...lol)
The unit is nice because:
Then you can grab a stick of brown butter & add it to your pasta as desired! Here's a good, simple starter recipe: (when draining, put a 1/2-cup measuring cup in the sink & fill, so that you can save half a cup of the pasta water for the recipe)
The combo of the Fasta Pasta & Souper Cubes is nice because if you're feeling both hungry & lazy, you can have a meal for one (or two) with hardly any effort at all, and it's not some cheapo dish like Chef Boyardee (nothing against them!) - it's legit pasta with, in this case, brown butter & Parmesan! For this recipe, all you have to do is:
As far as the Parmesan goes, I vac-seal & freeze my cheese for storage, then shred with a Salad Shooter: (electric shredder)
Using the "fine"-sized aftermarket cone:
Laziness through technology! Hahaha.
Je dirais qu'il te faudrait un extracteur de jus de ce genre pour en tirer le meilleur parti. Ca te fera du sirop en mettant un peu de sucre dedans.
> They all have big enough pots
I was using too small a pan for a long time. Finally got myself one of these on clearance a while back. It's oblong and perfect length for spaghetti and the lid clips in place for easy draining. Been making spaghetti like a pro lately.
WINCO HRCP-1309 Rectangular Non-Stick Cake Pan, 13-Inch by 9-Inch, Aluminized Steel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C0N85YI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kqH1Cb9QMZ6R9
This is my fav pan. Non stick, cheap as hell.
This pizza was 525F for about 14 minutes.
They're so good!
After having been way spoiled on the awesomeness that is Le Creuset, I now use a similar enameled pot from Mario Batali. It works great - I use it for everything. A great gift for friends/family as well.
so i used the 'material' filter on amazon,
hopefully it works
these are a few examples that i've narrow down to:

here's a pan example but dont plan on getting a pan

some seem to have 'nonstick coat' on top of HAA
I use this stainless steel stock pot from Viking and it works great for a lot less. No worries about chipping or acidic reactions either. The bottom is very heavy; I’ve never thought I needed a dutch oven to make anything so far.
