How to save cooking time?

If you cook healthy and satisfying meals day in and day out, it is certainly difficult to find time and energy to manage, but preparing nutritious whole foods is not necessarily complicated. The purpose of this article is to allow you to treat your body and brain the way you should, while still having time and energy to deal with other things in life.

 

1. Buy suitable kitchen utensils

If we have the right kitchen tools, such as aluminum non-stick stackable cookware, press aluminum detachable cookware, die cast aluminum detachable cookware, press aluminum cookware, forged aluminum cookware, preparing healthy meals will be simpler and easier. For example, a slicer can cut fruits and vegetables super fast. Another example is the use of a non-stick casserole set, which can reduce the inconvenience of sticking the pot to wash the pot. For another example, using pans with removable handles can reduce the position of the pot and save more space to prepare things. And the use of cast aluminum stock pot can make the soup more delicious.

 

2. Make a shopping list

Put a permanent list of the foods and ingredients you use frequently on your phone or write it in the kitchen. In this way, you don't have to make a shopping list from scratch every time you go to the store, and you can quickly check against what you already have. If you like to make fruit salad for lunch, please keep some of the main salad ingredients on the list. If you eat tomatoes three times a week, put it on the list.

 

3. Let simple and fast tools work for us

Don't let the cutting and preparation time hinder you from making healthy meals. Take advantage of the diced, chopped, and otherwise prepared products that most grocery stores offer, from chopped onions and celery, to chopped carrots, to chopped pumpkin. Check the cans and frozen parts for any useful findings. The chopped garlic and ginger can be stirred or frozen into separate parts for quick addition to your recipe. Pre-cooked grains such as rice can also be shelf-stable and frozen packaging. Using non stick stackable cookware can reduce the time to wash the pot. You have completed all the preparations in the time you need to open a few packages!

4. Store the right amount of things in the refrigerator

Freeze a small number of things you don't use frequently so that they are by your side when you need them. Stir the herbs quickly with water or olive oil, and then freeze them in an ice cube tray so you can take out what you need anytime. The most important thing is to freeze each prepared food in several portions so that you can quickly thaw the flavored food you need when you don’t have time to cook.

 

5. Pay attention to the replacement of ingredients

If you follow the recipe without specific ingredients, please don't give up. See what you have and exchange! If you do not have onions, please use other types of onions, such as yellow, white or red onions. Green vegetables such as spinach, kale, kale, and broccoli can usually be substituted for each other. Starches are interchangeable, so consider using chickpeas instead of pasta, or quinoa instead of lentils. If there is no die cast aluminum pan, stackable saucepans can be used instead. Alternatives may not be able to make an accurate recipe, but following your creativity and taste buds, you may like this result more!
