I know this isn't strictly an answer as such, since it doesn't suggest food, but could you Freecycle for a microwave and fridge? cookers are much harder to come by, but we have microwaves and fridges on our boards regularly, even one or the other would help wouldn't it?"There is no substitute for time."

Sainsburys will cook a pizza for you at the fresh pizza bit...£2 ish. I like cuppa soups with crusty bread...always discounted later in the evening. I had no cooking facilities when I first moved to my flat but got given a grill...not george foreman but same style, depending on funds a great investment as it just plugs in you can make toasties or grill meat, veg, potatoes etc.0

you can get washable pockets from Lakeland, Pounland & 99p stores that you put a sandwich in then put the pocket into the toaster and you've got a cheap toastie . They don't last indefinitely but quite a while
I suppose you could boil eggs in a kettle if washed out well inbetween?0 -
When I didn't have a cooker for a while my intellichef was a lifesaver. It's an electric cooker (slow cooker, rice/pasta cooker + boiling, steaming, shallow frying programmes). You can do almost everything except roasts.
Highly recommended, can be found on ebay.
Also recommended, and cheaper, is a foreman grill. You can grill meat, vegetables, toast bread, panini.0 -
you can heat up canned food by taking the lid off then placing the can inside the hot kettle of water for a few minutes, i did this whilst in a travel inn with a fussy small child. /we heated beans and macaroni etc, no problems.
i guess that the OP cant afford to buy any appliances yet, so prob cant afford a grill or small cooker thing as some have kindly suggested.
Good luck to you. have you just become a tenant ?0 -
Couscous, you make this like you make your noodles.
Buy a pot of sandwich filler and some rolls in the supermarket and eat them the same day.
Cup a soup.
Smash and cheese, or flavoured smash.
The hot pies/chickens you get in supermarkets.
Tins of pineapple, tins of tuna, tins of cold rice pudding.
Instant custard, semolina, etc.0
