Here are some helpful time saving tips to economize on time during the shopping, cutting and
cooking for your favorite homemade meals:
- The readiness of professional cooks can be brought to the home kitchen since
many vegetables can be cut in advance and stored in either airtight containers
or covered bowls in the refrigerator. Sturdy produce like broccoli and carrots
can be cut and stored along with other ingredients that are used at the same
time, whereas more moist or pungent ingredients like onion or peppers should be
stored separately.
- Dishes with multiple components like a sauce or topping, such as a stir-fry or
pasta dish, can often be partially made, reserving the final stages of assembly
and cooking for the last minute to ensure freshness. The majority of casseroles
can be made completely in advance and refrigerated in their baking dishes, due
to their often hearty ingredients and built-in reheating time. Recipes to avoid
when thinking about partially cooking are those that contain ingredients that
require delicate or quick cooking like wilted greens or seared shrimp
- Another way to save time in the preparation and cooking your favorite
recipes is to choose wholesome shortcut ingredients from the grocery store that
lend a handful of saved minutes as well as nutrition to your meal. Keep a stock
of canned beans, grains and dried pastas in your pantry and fill the freezer
with boxes of precut or partially cooked vegetables like frozen spinach or
chopped broccoli.
