How to save time in the kitchen

Good day to all.

How to Save Time in the Kitchen

I add my "two cents" to the existing councils. Everything about what I write, it is checked and confirmed repeatedly.

Plan your menu

I always plan the menu of the day at 3, and separately for the holidays, on special occasions. I never panic if everything is thought out carefully and realistically drawn. For me 3 days - this is the best period of time, which can be scheduled.

Determine who will cook meals, write down the products that you need, respectively, make a list of what you can buy in advance, and you need to buy a very fresh, the day or the day before cooking (fish offal). With such a plan, I always know that when defrost, buy or start cooking.

Cooking Secrets & Tips for Busy People with Pop&Cook Recipes

Prepare for the future

Cooking any dish I try to cook twice more than usual, then immediately after cooling, I freeze. Believe me, even the great frozen soups. It lends itself well to a variety of frozen rice, pies, pizzas, quiches, muffins, pancakes, gravy and fries.

Vegetables

If you bought more vegetables than you need, cut part of cubes, slices, etc. So, they will be used later (in soup, hot or baking), a hermetically pack and freeze. In an emergency you all the days of this will come in handy.

Greenery

Bringing home lettuce, greens, herbs, wash them immediately (if unwashed greens manufacturer), dry in drying salad or on a kitchen towel. While the greens a little damp, but not wet, lay it in bags and store in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf up to one week.

So you will not have to wash it all individually, in small portions, you have on hand will be clean and green is a strong likelihood that you will be even more likely to eat salads and other greens, as the dirty work is already done in one fell swoop.

Yet another "grandma's" method of storing herbs (onion, parsley, dill, cilantro, celery): rinse greens, dry, put in a plastic bag, inflate it like a balloon and put in the fridge on the bottom shelf. It sounds funny, but in the environment of carbonic gas greens kept much longer and does not dry out.

My Top 5 Tips for Saving Time and Money in the Kitchen!

Meat

Rubbing the meat and poultry before cooking salt, pepper, herbs and spices, more convenient and faster to do everything at once. To this end, in a bowl, mix salt, pepper, and everything else, and then then polish. No need going to be doing the same manipulation several times.

Billets

Have a good billet in the kitchen. They can be cooked in the days when you have more time.

Squeeze 2-3 heads of garlic, add in a jar and pour olive or other vegetable oil, cover and refrigerate. This keeps the flavor of garlic is great for 5-6 days.

When preparing tomato sauce for spaghetti, cook 3-4 times more. It is well frozen, and has many uses. Freeze this sauce is necessary portions.

When baking pancakes, potato pancakes or fritters, make a double batch and freeze part. You are always in the freezer will warm the soul, a quick breakfast or snack. Defrost, wrap in the middle of the cheese, ham, or something else, something that you love, heat a frying pan ... more you know what to do with it.

You can always bake a few basics for pizza and after cooling, each wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. You can also freeze the dough pieces. It will only distribute in the form and put bake.

Use boiled water when cooking

Savings of about 10 minutes for each meal. I think it's not necessary to explain. If you just pour boiling water into the pot, rather than cold water, then you will not have to wait another few more minutes, until the water comes to a boil in a saucepan. Electric kettle with you!

Cleaning

Cooking, try to immediately clean up after yourself, wash dishes and arrange everything in its place and put the used dishes in the dishwasher. You do not need to stand over every second frying pan or saucepan. When a cleaning of a habit, you'll notice how the speed of your movements will increase. And no need to spend time after cooking on it to get out.
