1. START WITH CLEAN CUISINE

Before you start cooking, clean. Surfaces must be clean, and the dishwasher and sink empty. Otherwise you will be awkward to cook, and the mess will slow down and hinder the process.

2. BEFORE YOU START, MAKE A PLAN

Remember that you are preparing to plan: how many times you will need to chop the garlic, and how to grate the lemon zest? If the same ingredient used in several dishes, prepare in advance.

You can also cook different vegetables in the same pan. And if you need, for example, cut the chicken and vegetables to roast, first cut the vegetables and then the chicken to wash the Board and knife only once.

3. CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS

It’s happened to everyone: received too small a bowl, I realized that it was not right, took another bigger one, which was not going to use, the result is both dirty and have to wash two dishes already does not fit in the sink. What conclusion can be drawn for the future? If in doubt, choose from the large bowl.

The same goes for cutting boards. More is better, and more convenient. For a large will fit more vegetables, you can cut them as you see fit, and you don’t have to wash a few boards. Only one.

For milk and other liquids that you want to add in the recipe, use the measuring device with wide edges and a spout. These bowls are more stable and they are easier to hold, and hence the probability that you will spill something by, much less. Checked.

4. USE LARGE CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE

If you store groceries and condiments in containers, choose those that are convenient to get, pour and measure out the products. If you can put the measuring Cup or spoon into the container to measure out the right amount is more difficult and even more so to measure so nothing to sleep by.

5. MIXING THE PRODUCTS OVER THE SINK

If you know what to pour and mix the ingredients gently does not work, do over the sink, which is much easier to rinse than a wash, then crumbs and to clean the dirt from the surface of the countertop.

6. USE A LARGE PLATE

So as not to soil the worktop and the edge of the plate, in the stores special stands for the spatulas and spoons. But it’s easier to use a big plate it will fit right and the spoons, and forks, skimmers and anything that you use during cooking, and the table will be clean.

7. MAKE FRIENDS WITH FOIL

Do not stint on foil or a baking sheet while cooking in the oven. There is nothing worse than to clean what is stuck to protivin cheese or a drop of oil spillage on the bottom shelf of the oven.

8. GET RID OF FOOD WASTE

If you cook a lot, use a separate container (or package) for vegetable skins, meat scraps and other food waste, do not leave them on the counter, and immediately drop into the container When it becomes full, toss it in the garbage.

9. PRIMIRITSYA IMMEDIATELY

Get a useful habit is to remove all, do not postpone. Products that are no longer needed in the recipe, put back in the closet, if dropped on the floor a berry or a piece of chocolate, lift up, until I forgot and no one had time to attack. If you spill something, wipe until the liquid has dried up or leaked in the cracks of the drawers or under kitchen cabinets.

10. USE THE BREAK

While the dish ready in the oven or boil water, use this time to clean and rinse that are no longer needed. You know that as soon as dinner is finished, you will have to deal with dirty dishes.
