easiest way, nuke it, chances are it is alreay prepackaged and all you have to do is remove the wrapper or whatever and place it in the nuker for a few minutes. My favorite option, grill it, takes just a bit longer but you do have time to drink a beer or two during the process.

If it's just your food, nuke it, by far.

But since I do the cooking for three people and one rarely leaves the couch, let alone the house, a microwave just isn't big enough for cook that much food without extra work in finding the microwave safe dishes to cook in. Or the fights about whose tv dinner gets nuked first (seen a bloody nose or two over that one). In that case, it's easier to bake something. That way I can make the shared portion in one dish, their meat in another, and my veggie something in a third, all in one oven.

There's going to be a little extra work in my cooking anyway, as I'm the only vegetarian in the house and the other two are in love with meat.

I've found the easiest way is to pick up a menu and order from a restaurant.

The easiest trick I've found ....

If you have access to a coffee machine with a tap for boiling water... just pour it in an instant soup cup. The hot soup is ready by the time you sit down.

Single guy....what do you think? LOL!

Although, I will say I really do like my grill, and try to at least do hots and hamburgers on the grill once in a while.

I'll even take it a step farther. I have real plates, cups, silverware, etc. But I hate doing dishes so I drink out of cans or plastic cups, use plastic silverware, and use paper plates for everything.

Sorry, if it's a choice of doing things easy or hard, I'm going easy. Every other path in life I seem to take is around the city, through the forest, and over the mountain when I could just as easily driven straight through to the destination in 75% less time.

I actually like to grill my food. I grill chocolate sandwiches for my little bro... I grill Cheese sandwiches. If there anything I can grill, you bet I won't eat it before I grill it!

Pick up your phone, ask for express, and enjoy your T.V. show while food comes to your door.

It can be if you're at a hotel according to Paula Poundstone:
Order whatever from room service
have them bring it to you in bed
put tray on pillow next to you
eat whatever food falls into your mouth when you roll over

The microwave is the easiest way to cook nearly anything. A good 70% of the food I cook is in the microwave. I also never use anything less than full power, takes too long otherwise.

In second place would be the sandwich grill, can cook lots of things in that too.

This needs to be a multiple choice question by far. Cooking for me is one of the ultimate joys in life so what ever i can get my hands on and seasonings(and i am not talking about Jhonny's seasoning salt) and spices throw me in the kitchen and ill make something out of thin air :-)

I knew a guy who would buy 20 burgers at a time at McDonalds, stick them in his freezer, and nuke one whenever he was hungry. Easy cooking and easy grocery shopping. He wasn't exactly the picture of health tho.
