1. Decided what to cook the night before and got familiar with the recipe. The respondent had been struggling with what to eat for a while, so he opened the recipe software just before dinner time and looked at it one by one. The result was that he thought about this baby dish with soup.

Eat it, and you will want to cook it when you see the pan-fried steak. If some PO owners post delicious food photos, it will be even harder to control yourself. You will repeatedly struggle with what to cook.

Sometimes I think about looking for recipes when I go to the supermarket or wet market to see what vegetables to buy, and the result is that I hold my phone in the supermarket and look through the recipes, which really wastes time.

Therefore, think about what you want to cook before going to bed the night before. If you have a lot of ingredients for cooking, you might as well write a shopping list in the memo on your phone to avoid forgetting to buy it at the last minute.

Then, be sure to read the recipe several times before trying a new dish, otherwise you will be in a hurry while reading the recipe while cooking, and the oil will spray on your phone, or even drop your phone into the pot (don’t ask me why I know). After reading the recipe

Turn off the software and recall it in your mind. The most important thing is to go through the process, roughly what to put first and what to put next, how long each step takes, and how familiar it is.

After doing this, you will be more organized when cooking.

2. When buying fresh ingredients or thawing frozen ingredients in advance, I like to go to the supermarket for a while, because there is a big supermarket just downstairs from my house (mainly because I am lazy), and I think it’s just a few cents and a vegetable market.

The uncles and aunts who sell vegetables are a bit tired of bargaining and wasting time. The most important thing is that the hygiene and smell of the vegetable market are really - you know!

So, for a long time, I kept eating vegetables from the supermarket.

until one day!

During my morning run, I ran to the morning market and bought some food. After I went home and cooked it, I found it was good!

eat!

arrive!

cry!

The fresh taste, tender leaves, and the unique fragrance of seasonal vegetables are really unmatched by the supermarket products!

Moreover, I find that buying fresh ingredients really saves a lot of time, mainly when it comes to picking and washing vegetables.

To give the simplest example, I prefer to eat coriander and buy it to make as an accessory or hot pot dipping sauce.

Cilantro wilts easily. Most of the cilantro in supermarkets has been stored for several days. They rely on atomized spray (I don’t know what it is, sorry for liberal arts students) to maintain moisture, but many dishes are actually not fresh enough.

As a result, when I buy groceries, I have to pick and choose again and again, peeling them apart to see if they are rotten inside.

After I bought it, it was even more troublesome to wash the vegetables. I had to pick out the yellowed and rotten vegetable leaves bit by bit, and then I had to be careful not to rub all the wilted vegetable leaves.

Falling off is miserable.

But the coriander in the morning market is different. Basically all of it is fresh. You can grab as much as you want. Each handful is juicy and you don’t have to worry about it getting spoiled. Moreover, you don’t have to choose vegetables when washing vegetables, so it can be faster.

If the ingredients are frozen in the refrigerator, it is strongly recommended to take them from the lower layer to the upper refrigerator layer one night in advance to defrost them.

If it is temporarily defrosted, you can either soak it in water, boil it in a pot, or defrost it in a microwave oven, but either way will destroy the smoothness of cooking.

And the most important thing is that if you defrost the night in advance, you can also use the time in the evening to marinate some vegetables that need to be marinated. Whether the meat (pork, chicken, beef and mutton) has been marinated makes a big difference in frying. Marinating

Adding a little oil when cooking can also make the vegetables more tender.

In short, during this period of Chinese New Year, my mother is used to cutting up all kinds of chicken, duck, and fish meat and packaging them in plastic bags. However, if you want to store them for a long time, plastic bags are actually very troublesome.

The main reason is that the fresh-keeping bag has no fixed shape. It seems that it is more convenient to stuff it into the refrigerator drawer. You can stuff it in any corner, but it is very troublesome to take it out after it is frozen. Sometimes you even have to

Just pull hard.

Another weakness of the fresh-keeping bag is that it is too thin. Sometimes some ribs and chicken bones will break the bag, which may cause blood and water everywhere, or may scratch the skin and cause infection.

3. You can consider using a machine to solve the problem of washing vegetables. The respondent really hates washing vegetables because the respondent has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Green vegetables must be soaked in clean water and then soaked in rice washing water, and then washed with running water for more than three times. I

I feel that my ability to do wilting work is really at its peak!

However, washing is fine in summer. If it is winter, the answer is that I feel Spartan just by washing dishes!

Even though you have a small kitchen appliance and a water heater, you always forget to turn it on, right?

Especially now that the respondent is in Gansu, where there is an extreme water shortage and there is not much water at all. When I get home, I can’t bear to see the running water in the faucet. I want to buy some fruit and vegetable cleaners on the market that are said to have no chemical additives.

There are pesticide residues in the product, but I am worried that chemical methods may cause chemical residues, so I have been struggling.

Until one day, the respondent learned about this artifact - a vegetable washing machine!

Although I don’t know if this can really remove the legendary pesticides, the principle seems to be quite simple. It seems to use ozone to rotate and wash vegetables.
