Won't debate kitchen equality and stuff. Every relationship's different and what's important is the happiness of both people involved. <-- I learned to say that after a very long talk with my gramma about men.
crock pot meals can be great. Chickens, pork or beef roasts large chunks of nonconfusing meat for him, and you can pop vegetables in and know he's not just eating a slab of proteinSame thing with hearty stews, bean soups.. You can make alot of yummie stuff in the crockpot that's easy for him to dish up already preheated. And they'll still be warm and yummie as left overs when you get back.
Give him a lesson in Oven PreHeating 101 and you can premake casseroles and he can master the art of putting them in the oven. enchiladas come to mind to... premaking lasagnas that can just be popped in the oven. I like to make a full batch of lasagna but arrange them into smaller disposable trays and then keep one in the fridge and store the rest in the freezer til needed.. but that goes back to pasta. I do the same thing with enchiladas though. Back to enchiladas I guess. Oops. If he'll pop things in the oven you can just make a smaller portion to freeze for when needed later and not have alot of extra hassle.
If he won't even try that then yeah.. like mimitabby said.. Most things can be nuked. I wouldn't do a yummie cut of steak, and fish in the microwave isn't appetizing to me.. but most things can heat at least okayish in the microwave..
