How to save time in the kitchen?

One of the biggest problems we face daily is organizing the time we spend preparing food. In addition to making food for the family, in some cases you also have to prepare the children’s lunch and your own, to continue complying with the plan day by day. Sometimes this turns out to be a very big problem. That’s why you have to learn to save time in the kitchen. Some examples where a lot of time is wasted:

• Disinfection of fruits and vegetables.
• Provide rations.
• Cook or blanch foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, or pumpkin.
• Defrosting meat, poultry and fish.
• Cooking meals.
• Bake. To avoid these bad habits. It is better to calculate the portion per serving in airtight bags, it will be easier and faster to take out a bag with a fillet ready to put on the grill than the entire tray of meat as it comes in the supermarket. You will have to define what goes in the refrigerator or what foods you will reserve in the freezer. It is advisable to have 3 levels of cold chain:
• Freezer.
• Fridge.
• Room temperature.—BEWARE, food cannot be returned one step back in the cold chain. This can cause damage to cellular tissue and create an environment conducive to fungal formation. Another tip to save time in the kitchen is to use the oven. The oven is not only used to store pans; but it can be an invincible ally in the kitchen. Think about making a beefcake instead of meatballs. The meatballs must be made individually and shaped into a ball, the beefcake just has to be portioned according to each person’s appetite. You can use that time washing utensils and preparing soup. Storage is an important issue when it comes to this issue, you must have the containers or tupperware ready and on hand with all their lids and arranged by size, it can solve your life. Even for transporting snacks to your office. —I leave all the vegetables washed and disinfected in a tupperware with an absorbent towel on top, this will prevent them from oxidizing, leaving them fresh for longer. These useful tips will help you efficiently organize your time and take advantage of it in other activities. Remember that processed food is your main enemy, and that food preparation requires patience without having to be a messy task.
