Making good food can feel really time consuming at times, and can feel like it takes even longer if I am hungry. Because it is important to me to eat yummy and healthy meals as well as have time for other things, I have found some ways to make cooking faster. That way can still enjoy dinner as a family, I can feel good about what we're eating, and we can have time left to do something fun together afterwards. Below are things I do to cook extremely fast.

Set Your Workspace up for Success

I find I am much more productive when my workspace is set up well. To do this, I make sure that the table is cleared off and wiped down and everything I need is set out or easily accessible, This makes it so I have plenty of room to work and I don't have to worry about my food bumping or falling on anything yucky. By having everything I need available, I don't have to spend any time searching for things or becoming disappointed when I am out of something or a dish isn't clean.

Sharpen Your Knife

Using a sharp knife can make things quicker because the knife glides through the vegetables easier. I have an electric knife sharpener that I use and it is pretty quick and then I just have to rinse it off and wipe it down before using the knife so shavings don't get in the food. A nice thing is that knives don't need to be sharpened every time, so as long as they are sharpened every once in a while then they should be good to go. They probably cut even faster if they are some fancy super sharp knives.

Work on Your Knife Skills

Being familiar with a knife and how to properly cut things the way you intend to can speed things along. For example, I just learned how to properly dice potatoes into small pieces. I had been doing it wrong for so many years. I had just tried chopping them randomly into smaller and smaller pieces and found it took so much time. I watched a YouTube video on how to properly dice vegetables and now my diced potatoes come out so perfectly and so quickly.
