5 tips to save time on cooking

What housewife doesn't like to cook and pamper her family with goodies? There are probably none. However, not everyone is happy to spend all day at the stove. And with that in mind, it's not uncommon to want to order dinner delivered or buy a pre-made meal at the supermarket. But we should agree that cooking at home is much healthier and cheaper.

The FoodOboz editorial team will share some tricks that will make life in the kitchen much easier.

Choose universal dishes

To significantly save time in the kitchen, cook universal dishes. We're talking about those that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or simply combined with other foods. Take, for example, stewed vegetables that can be served with porridge, pasta, potatoes, or meat. Or a fruit mix that can be added to oatmeal for breakfast or a snack.

Stock up on the right foods

In addition to basic foods (cereals, cereal, pasta, canned goods, spices), your kitchen should also have a supply of food in the freezer: frozen meat, fish, and vegetables. This is a great way to ensure that you always have the food you need at hand at any time without having to run to the store.

Meal planning is a real must-have

This tip will make your life much easier. Plan a weekly menu once, shop for the necessary products once, and cook once. Now do the math: how much time you can save this way.

No one has canceled the multitasking mode

It means that you should do several things at once. At the same time, always start cooking with the most difficult task. For example, while you're frying vegetables, preheat the oven or put water on to heat up a side dish.

Store herbs properly

To significantly extend the shelf life of greens, you need to store them properly. For example, in a jar of cold water. This will help keep your greens fresh for a week longer.
