Any housewife, instead of hanging around in the kitchen near the sink or stove, dreams of doing something more noble - a hobby, family, relaxation.
And so that circumstances are not stronger than us, we need to remember and implement 6 simple cooking rules that will save time spent in the kitchen.
1. How to buy food
It is best to do this no more than 2-4 times a month. It has been noted that if you make major purchases rarely, but in full, then you can save up to 30% of your family budget by going to the store only for such small things as bread, milk and fresh fruit.
2. Don't think about food
As O. Bender said, "don't make a cult out of food." It's easier to make a menu for the week, and then, in addition to saving money, you can save time on cooking. But most importantly, you won't have to rack your brains about "what to cook."
3. Don't fuss in the kitchen
To do this, you must always keep work surfaces clean and empty. And before preparing lunch or dinner, take out the food and all the necessary utensils in advance.
4. Blanks
This is the basics. Such a simple thing as boiled and frozen beets, grated and frozen carrots, etc., saves 10 to 20 minutes of time per dish.
5. Serving
If something went wrong and someone in your household didn't plan to eat what you cooked for dinner, serve it beautifully. An impressive serving itself makes the dish tastier and more appetizing, even if the plate contains broccoli, which many people hate.
6. Who washes the dishes?
Set a strict rule: whoever cooks, does not wash. Then a dishwasher will quickly appear in the house or the cooking issue will be resolved by itself.
