Quick Kitchen Tips

Reduce your cooking mess by pouring liquids at the sink and peeling food over the trash can. Smaller messes are always easier to clean than bigger ones.
Cut soup, stew and stir-fry ingredients into smaller pieces to reduce cooking time. Keep any extras in the refrigerator to add to other weeknight meals.
Use kitchen scissors to snip ingredients like green onions and sun dried tomatoes into small pieces. It’s quicker and easier than chopping.
Use two or more kitchen appliances simultaneously to cut cooking time during meal preparation. For example, you can microwave vegetables while pan-frying meat.
