Not all cooks like to stand at the stove for a long time and wait until the potatoes in boiling water are ready.

To make sure that preparing a side dish doesn't take too much time, you need to be clever.

The essence of the first life hack is to use boiling water immediately.

In other words, the peeled raw vegetables in the pan must be poured with liquid that is already bubbling.

Many cooks know about this trick. However, there is another option for speeding up the cooking of nightshade.

What to put in the pot

The potatoes will start to cook much faster if a thin film appears on the surface of the water.

The latter can be created using butter.

It is enough to throw a small piece of this product into boiling liquid. It will melt instantly, resulting in an oil stain on the surface.

Under such a film, the vegetable will be ready much earlier than usual. You will be able to save several minutes.

Quick cooking will not affect the taste of the side dish in any way. The dish will be just as appetizing.
