Tips For Fast Cooking
December 27, 2008
We are all in a hurry. It seems that for every year that goes by, people are more and more in a rush. If you live alone than eating right may be a little more difficult for you than others. But, there is hope. You can actually prepare meals ahead of time and cook later or right away.
In order to get you on the right track you need to prep all of your items before you even start cooking. Put your items in the order of which you will be using them. Instead of trying to chop and mince while you watch the frying pan, cut than sizzle.
If you are making soup one night for dinner, make enough for two evenings instead of one. This way you can eat the night you prepared it and have it for another evening, just heat and eat. When you make foods that you can double up on, do it. This can be a real time saver in the kitchen.
Finding the time to prepare homemade stock is not always possible so it is a good idea to keep a few cans in the pantry. You should always have chicken and beef broth since this is the base for so many different foods. Also, to keep the frustration out of the kitchen when cutting your veggies and meats, make sure that your cutlery is always as sharp as you. This is a big time saver.
Another tip is to plan ahead. I know that it is easier said than done but, on a Saturday or Sunday evening when you are planning on heating up something that you already had prepared, take that night to get the week ready. Pasta dishes are great to prepare and pop in the freezer for a later day in the week.
A few other ideas to make getting in and out of the kitchen quicker is to keep your meats and poultry thin to speed up cooking, chop your veggies, such as onions and green peppers, small so that they cook faster as well. Always make sue that your pans are extremely hot before using them and take your frustration out on the chicken. By placing the chicken between wax paper and beating it with a mallet, you will flatten it out, getting the same amount but thinner and faster cooking time. Happy cooking!
