One useful tip for saving time in the kitchen is to pre-chop and prep ingredients ahead of time. This will make meal prepping and cooking much faster and more efficient. Also, investing in time-saving tools like a food processor or slow cooker can also help speed up the cooking process.
To keep produce fresh, store them in the refrigerator in airtight containers or bags. For leafy greens, wrap them in paper towels before storing to absorb excess moisture. Fruits like bananas and apples can also be stored in the refrigerator to prolong their freshness.
To keep your kitchen organized, declutter regularly and designate specific areas for different types of items. Utilize storage containers and labels to keep things in order. Also, make sure to clean up as you go while cooking to prevent clutter from building up.
The best way to clean kitchen appliances is to use natural cleaning solutions like vinegar and baking soda. For microwave and oven cleaning, mix equal parts water and vinegar in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for a few minutes. For stovetops, sprinkle baking soda and spray with vinegar, let sit for a few minutes, and wipe clean.
One tip for easier meal planning is to create a weekly or monthly meal plan ahead of time. This will save you time and stress trying to come up with meals on the spot. Also, consider batch cooking and freezing meals for busy days. Don't be afraid to repeat meals or use leftovers to reduce meal planning time.
