18 Time Saving Kitchen Tips
Who doesn’t want to save time in the kitchen? Enjoy these kitchen tips that will help you save time and keep an organized kitchen.
- Double your favorite family recipes and freeze the extra meal to enjoy another night. You’ll halve the amount of time you spend cooking.
- Take advantage of convenience food you can incorporate into your own meals rather than cooking completely from scratch.
- Multitask phone calls with small kitchen tasks, such as unloading the dishwasher or wiping down the kitchen counters.
- Cut down on peeling fruit and vegetables by choosing recipes that don’t require it.
- Stock your freezer with chopped or diced frozen vegetables. They are nutritious and require less prep.
- Before starting a meal, fill your sink with warm soapy water. Dishes can soak as you go, making clean up much quicker and easier.
- Upgrade small appliances to ones that will do most of the work for you, such as a pod coffee maker, a crock pot, or a bread machine.
- Always have a pair of kitchen scissors handy. They make a quick job of every day kitchen tasks, from snipping herbs to opening packages.
- Keep a well-stocked pantry, and you’ll cut down on those time consuming last minute trips to the grocery store.
- Learn the proper way to chop, peel and perform other food prep. Increasing your efficiency will decrease your cooking time.
- Master the art of one-pot cooking. This naturally reduces clean up.
- Keep your most used items close at hand, so you don’t have to spend extra time reaching or searching for them.
- Attach extra measuring scoops or spoons to your sugar, coffee and other frequently used ingredients to eliminate a step.
- Instead of waiting for butter to soften for a recipe, grate it first with a cheese grater, and it will be ready in no time.
- Create stations in your kitchen where tools and appliances that work together are stored.
- Invest in easy-to-clean cookware and tools to save yourself from scrub time.
- Before preparing a meal, do a quick check on ingredients and tools, and read over the recipe, to prevent time wasting hunting and backtracking.
- With the exception of baking bread, skip the preheating process. Most meals can be started in a cold over without a problem.
