$69.99 for: Instant Pot DUO Plus 60, 6 Qt 9-in-1 Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Yogurt Maker, Egg Cooker, Sauté, Steamer, Warmer, and Sterilizer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBKTPTS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9L3kDbXEPCPAS
Good for cooking those big batch meals in preparation for baby!
The expensive brands in that same price range:
All-Clad, Le Crueset, Henckel, and Mauviel.
This five piece set is worth it's weight in... well, copper. Cuz copper is super expensive.
At a much more reasonable price range you've got Cuisinart, Calphalon, Lodge, Victorinox and a few others.
-------
Here's a list of things they could get (an entire kitchen revamp) for under $1000:
A $300 knife set with 4 steak knives (note: the 7 piece classic set is available from Costco online for only $80 if you have a membershit, same blades, no fancy handles. The steak knives can be got for $10-15 each, so the entire set is like $130 if you don't want rosewood)
Anova sous vide cooker for $110. Toys are fun.
Lodge enameled dutch oven for $60
Mauviel carbon steel pan for $40 (needs to be seasoned), or a pre-seasoned Lodge for $20
Lodge cast iron for $10-20 (depending on 8 inch or 10 inch).
Scrapers (super important!) and maybe silicon handles for $10
and the most important thing they'd want, is the Calphalon tri-ply set for $225 (which I think is also cheaper over at Amazon).
An Instapot (combined pressure cooker + slowcooker + ricecooker, this thing is like a slowcooker on crack). You can also opt for just a regular $30 slowcooker, too.
If they don't care about fancy looking handles, the Fibrox handles actually have a great grip, and Victorinox knives are sharp as shit.
Other things:
OXO good grips tools/spatulas/measures/everything for about $100 depending on what they want.
The Costco membership would probably be worth it just so you can buy the Victorinox knives (and I think also the Calphalon pans?)
---------
Total price: ~$1000 if going with the rosewood handles (I personally didn't bother), and instapot (I would highly recommend the instapot, though!)
If going with regular handles and instapot, $850 <--- my choice
If going with regular handles, instapot, but no sous vide, $750 <--- probably most economical choice
If going with regular handles and regular slowcooker, and no sous vide ~$650
Just regular Victorinox Fibrox knives, and Calphalon Tri-Ply set and one cast iron skillet: ~$400
Most if not all of the deals I have seen list three prices. MSRP > Normal Amazon Price > Prime Day Sale Price. However, they are stating the savings as the difference between MSRP and Prime Day Sale Price. You just have to do the math of Normal Amazon Price - Prime Day Sale Price to figure out how much you are saving.
Example item. In this case the actual savings is $14 or 20% which is quite nice actually.
The DUO60 is now $79 (from $99):

And the Instant Pot DUO(60) Plus just dropped in price to $96.
https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Multi-Functional-Pressure-Cooker/dp/B01NBKTPTS
One or both of those models might well drop farther on the big sale day though, July 11 beginning July 10 at 9:00pm EST (for Prime members, or get a free trial of Prime to buy, then cancel before that month is up).
$130 instant pot for $55 is the steal of a lifetime

Don't get me wrong the mini is still great, just a bit small for my needs. The 6qt allows me to have more leftovers which with my odd work schedule is a big plus.
If you don't mind used, the Duo 60 Plus $60 (Used - Good), or $63 (Used - Very Good) from Amazon Warehouse Deals.
It sounds like a Multicooker (such as an Instant Pot) would be perfect for you. I just got one a few months ago as a gift. Before I started using one, it seemed kind of gimmicky and faddish, but it's been a game changer for us and now we use it for probably every other meal. Specifically for you, the versatility would be make it the kind of your options. It cooks rice and keeps it warm as well as a rice cooker, it can be used a slow cooker like a Crock Pot, it can be used just like a pot on a stovetop with the saute mode, and it cooks fast like a traditional pressure cooker. There's a model of IP on sale for Prime Day right now ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBKTPTS ), and as a student you should already have Prime.
Once you have it, start buying super cheap staples. Rice, beans, lentils, etc. are always ridiculously cheap, and very easy to cook. Buy cheap frozen veggies to mix into what you're cooking for easy nutrition. Pork shoulder, chicken thighs/breasts, and sometimes beef roasts go on great sales. Find the discount areas in your grocery store, all of them. Mine has three: one for baked goods, one for meats, one for shelf stable stuff. Right now they have boneless pork loin for $1.50/lb, pork shoulder for $0.80/lb, and bone-in skin-on chicken thighs for $0.77/lb. Last week they had boneless skinless breasts for $1.25/lb.
After shopping for your cheap staples, start prepping components. You don't have to prep entire meals... just prep staples. Have containers full of rice or beans, and a protein. Last week I made 3.5lbs (prepared) of Mexican style pulled pork with a 4lb pork loin, a can of enchilada sauce, and an onion for something like $6.50. Stuck a third in the fridge, and two thirds in the freezer to pull out at a later date. Cook into scrambled eggs or put on top of rice. Side of homemade "refried" beans.
Get creative. Pick a protein (pork, beef, chicken, etc.), pick a "flavorful cooking liquid" (salsa or enchilada sauce for Latin American, teriyaki for Asian, broth for a soup base, etc.). Once it's cooked and shredded you can toss in a bag of frozen veggies and they'll thaw from the heat of the already cooked food.
Here are a few ideas:
Feel free to message if you have questions or want a guiding hand.
Honestly? Nope. Not happy for you yet. Get one of these and then we'll talk recipes. :P
Uh-oh, I'm in the wrong forum...
Congrats on the purchase. Try this as a baseline recipe:
NOTE: The spices here are intentionally pretty tame. Some people prefer blander food. Please feel free to experiment and increase, decrease, add additional options, etc. This is a baseline recipe. I tend to add much more in terms of herbs and spices (for example, I add 1 Tbl. dried Mexican oregano, increase all the spices by about 3x, and I tend to add fresh and/or dried chilies, too). I highly recommend Penzy's or equivalent for the herbs and spices!
There is nothing authentic about this recipe other than it's being relayed by a Latino gentleman of questionable provenance...
I'm confused as to buying this or the Instant Pot DUO Plus 60, like whats the difference? I though the ULTRA was the more expensive model

Stop using your stove and start using a slow cooker or electric pressure cooker.
They both still use electricity, but are much more energy efficient than an electric range.
Love this recipe http://nomnompaleo.com/post/111934821818/pressure-cooker-kalua-pig
It’s great for chili either with chuck or ground beef
It’s perfect for boiled/steamed eggs

Sour about the huge link. I can't fine the doggone question mark to shorten it.
Highly recommend an instant pot (pressure cooker). There are so many simple recipes that yield fantastic results that seem way beyond your skill level. https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Plus-60-Programmable/dp/B01NBKTPTS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=instant+pot&amp;qid=1565970653&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExOUpVTkdaSkoxS1dMJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjk1NzQzV1owSFBYMlBRNUFMJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA3NzAxNTIxNzlNWEtRQ0s4VThNJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
