Happy National Cooking Day! We’re here with a few kitchen tips and tricks from our chefs to help you save time and get dinner ready with minimal fuss.

Commonly known as mise en place in professional kitchens, having all of your ingredients prepared and measured ahead of time is a great way to make sure that your culinary endeavors go smoothly. It also helps to avoid the unpleasant surprise of finding out halfway through cooking that you’re missing an ingredient!

If you find yourself frequently using the same ingredients, do yourself a favor and get all your prep work done at once. Shred your cheese, dice your vegetables, or get your sauces made all at once, then save them in your fridge for the next time you need to grab-and-go. 

Having meals that are ready to heat and enjoy – or only require a little bit of work – is a great way to cut down on cooking time. Cue Cuisine Solutions!
