The hassle of cooking is often in the preparation. Here are some tips to help you save time.
1. Shaving Food With Knife
Not easy to do. Use a vegetable peeler instead. You can even use it to shave parmesan cheese and chocolate.
2. Salad Dressing
Don’t waste your salad dressing. Mix salad dressing in a screw-top jar. The unused portion can be stored in the jar.
3.Marinate Meat
Marinate meat or dried fruit in a zip lock bag. Leave it in a fridge but remember to turn the bag every now and then.
4. Oily Gravy
Instead of trying to skim fat or oil off gravy with a ladle, pour the gravy into a plastic bag or ziplock bag. Let the fat rise to the top and drain out the broth leaving the fat in the bag.
5. Seed a Tomato
Use a Melon Baller instead of a knife.
6. Pie pan 
When preparing a pie, instead of having to chill, roll and line a Pie Pan with a biscuit crumb crust, spread the biscuit crumb mixture in the pan and use a same size pan to press the crust into place. A real time saver.
7. Leftover stock
Freeze leftover stock in disposable muffin pans. Thaw the necessary amount when needed.
8. Measuring viscous liquid
When measuring sticky liquid like honey and syrup, spray the measuring spoon with Cooking Spray. Helps the ingredients slide out easily.
9. Slicing mushrooms and fruits 
Use an Egg Slicer to slice mushroom and other small fruits.
10. Peeling Ginger
Use a spoon and scrap the skin when peeling ginger. Makes the job much easier.
