by Marcby M.Save time without rushing the cooking
A short recipe becomes genuinely quick when ingredients, equipment and cooking tasks are organised in the right order.
Read the total time
Compare the displayed time with when you want to serve, then read every step before starting. Identify tasks that can overlap, such as chopping vegetables while the oven preheats or the water comes to the boil.
Gather everything first
Set out the pan, board and ingredients, then measure anything that must be added quickly. A sufficiently wide pan or tray avoids extra batches and lets food brown without crowding.
Speed up the right tasks
Cut ingredients into even, fairly small pieces where the recipe calls for it. Excessive heat cannot replace the necessary cooking time, so follow the texture and doneness cues, especially for meat and fish.
