Are you spending too much time in your kitchen? Would you like to have a lot more time to spend on your children, or simply to pamper yourself, chill out or relax? Well, if you follow some of these time saving kitchen tips, you will find yourself with some extra time that you can use for any purpose that you want.
Let's look at some of these time saving tips:
1) Read and familiarize yourself with the recipes before you start your cooking. Many times, you will waste time rereading the recipe and instructions, while in the middle of preparing the ingredients, and while cooking. By reading up on the ingredients and method before you start, it will be fresh in your mind and you can save time looking at the instructions.
2) If your pots and pans, bowls or chopping boards keep sliding off the counter top, then you need this tip. save some time putting back all these items in their correct positions while preparing your meal, by simply placing a piece of damp cloth underneath them. They will no longer slide off the top, and you do not have to worry about cleaning up the mess.
3) Do you take a lot of time peeling the skin off of your garlic cloves? One way is to cut them in two and peel them of. They will come off easier. However, I just learned this from a friend, and it works much better. Just put your garlic cloves in the microwave for about 10 seconds, and the skin comes off easily, almost sliding itself off with little effort on your part.
4) Boiing water in a pot. Make sure you use cold water and that you cover the pot. A covered pot will heat up faster and keep the heat in, so that your water boils much faster. You can save a significant amount of time just from this one tip.
5) Cleaning the oil from a frying pan can be a time consuming process. If you try to wash if off with soap and water, you will need a lot of soap and waste a lot of water as well. An easier way is to wipe off all that excess oil from the frying pan using an old newspaper or a paper towel. Once the oil is gone, the frying pan is much easier to clean.
With these tips, you can save a few minutes each day from your kitchen, which you can allocate to other areas of your life. Gain some freedom to do what you like!
