I think the very fact that there is an argument about this, should suggest that "boiling an egg" is not a bad starting place. Why make Level 1 more difficult than it has to be? It's not like we'll run out of numbers. "Making a hotpocket" would be one step under that, and while it's not technically cooking, it's still "preparing food" which I think is a nice first step.
