I have two different speeds when it comes to working in the kitchen. I either want to get in and out as quickly as possible or I want to wander, meandering over herbs and flavor combinations. You can probably guess that the first way is typically reserved for weeknights and the second is more a weekend attitude. However, I am always looking for ways to make my time in the kitchen more efficient and useful (because who has any time to waste these days?) and that's where a recent post at Lifehacker comes in.
Last week they posted a nice, long feature by Kevin Purdy called Kitchen Timesavers That Speed Up Dinner that details nine very useful ways to make your meals more rapidly. His suggestions include picking shorter, simpler recipes, keeping cheat sheets on the insides of your cabinet doors and blanching veggies by pouring a little boiling water over them from your kettle instead of dirtying another pot.
What are your secret tricks and tips to making meals quickly?
