There are loads of ways to cut down time in the kitchen and make healthy food an easy possibility for all involved. Here are some top time saving kitchen tips.
Preparation
Chop your veg the night before, place in tupperware containers and cover with damp kitchen roll to keep fresh.
Batch Cook
Cook once, eat twice. Freeze half the batch, then during the week just heat up your yummy leftovers and dinner is ready in 5 minutes. Check Sian’s Plan for some batch cooking recipe ideas.
Clean While You Cook
Clean up while you cook so you don’t have to do it at the end. This is a huge timesaver.
Use Frozen Vegetables
Don’t be afraid to use frozen veg as they are just as rich in nutrients and you save time chopping.
Plan your Meals in Advance
No more “What’s for dinner?” dilemma. You know what you’re cooking and when.
Pots and Pans
Have your pots and pans ready then you don’t have to go searching while you are cooking.
Get the Kids Involved
This depends on their age but even setting the table can save you time.
Keep an Organised Store Cupboard
Organise your store cupboard so you know where to find things. Don’t be stuck by that elusive herb hiding behind the salt!
