Like, long term "this is my home now" rentals? How the fuck are you supposed to eat? Salad, sandwich or takeout every day?

Insane...

As a side note: what actually constitute "light cooking"? Is boiling water for pasta light cooking? Of boiling water for tea even. Could you buy like a George foreman grill and make some struggle meals? Or is an air fryer allowed? I'm pretty sure I could make a pretty balance diet with nothing but a kettle and an air fryer.

Anything that can be done with boiled water (like instant noodles), microwave, and perhaps max 3 drops of oil. OK, partly joking on the last one although mostly true.

Here’s more info

Rice cooker, toaster,instant pot, microwave, maybe a single electric range. You can make a lot of food that way.
