The pandemic has made of us into good cooks. But we all hate to spend hours toiling over the stove. Fret not. There are a few tricks that one can use that can come to your aid while you are cooking.
If you want to quickly boil pasta, boil it in the frying pan instead of a sauce pot. The pasta cooks faster in the pan. It can save you many minutes. If you have a microwave, use it. Pasta will cook even faster here.
Also, you don’t need four to eight cups of water to cook pasta — you just need just enough to cover it. Two cups should be enough to cook spaghetti or farfalle. You may need up to three cups of water for rotini or penne.
What to chop veggies faster? Before you actually get down to chopping, sharpen you knives. Invest in a good knife sharpner.
