Smart Cooking Techniques for the Busy Cook

The key to quick cooking lies in efficiency. Here are a few tips:

1. Mise en place: Chop all your vegetables and measure your ingredients before you start cooking. This saves an enormous amount of time during the actual cooking process.
2. One pan, one pot: Dishes prepared in a single pan or pot not only save washing-up time but often cook faster because everything cooks simultaneously.
3. High heat, short time: Many ingredients, such as thinly sliced chicken or shrimp, are perfect for quick stir-frying or searing at high temperatures.
4. Batch cooking: On the weekend, cook larger quantities of grains (rice, quinoa) or roast some extra vegetables. This forms the basis for quick weekday meals.
