Meh of course you are not going to be Gordon Ramsey in an hour. To read how to cook rice, get to know when meat is ready (if you buy meat from supermarket you probably can under cook it and still be fine) and how to boil/prepare some vegetables. Then that hour where you read instructions for 10-20 mins, did an experiment that took next 30 mins... Voilà you can now cook the same thing for next couple weeks in only 30 mins without reading recipe again.
Now when you know how to cook one thing you can try out some other stuff which will be small investment because you have some base from cooking that one meal for some time.
I am by no means a chef (so not going to impress anyone with my cooking skills because it still is just basic stuff) but I am not afraid of cooking, I can now quite confidently experiment and I started with baking chicken breasts and boiling rice.

And, for all the stuff in my kitchen, the number of things you need to get started is actually pretty minimal. (In fact, as with many things, you're probably better off keeping it simple at first.)
