Friday Fact: Mise-En-Place Is Worth The Effort

As an important element of my “10-20-30 Minute” Life Style
Mise-En-Place is not only worth the effort but it makes many things possible

So do you Mise-En-Place in the Kitchen or anywhere else?

For How to in the kitchen, a nice summary of the steps

Minute 1-5: Read Recipe TWICE or More – the only way to avoid unpleasant realities, like you don’t have the necessary ingredients, so may need to plan a substitute. (like mixing Heavy Cream with Ricotta to make a Marscapone alternative.

Minute 6-10: READ RECIPE AGAIN and then GATHER Tools and needed pots, pans, ice bath, whatever – Because no one wants to stop fail just because the sheet pan is still waiting in the dishwasher and your sauce is about to burn

Minutes 11-18: Prep Each Ingredient, measure or cut those veggies as need for a proper or custom mirepoix once all your ingredients are prepped and ready leave nothing in your space but what you will need. If you are not cooking now, get all the ingredients into the fridge or freezer as needed.

Miunutes19-20 : Clearing the debris – Rinse and add dirty stuff to the dishwasher –

take a nap, read a book, enjoy afternoon snack or tea, answer email, happily knowing that getting dinner going is only a matter of minutes whenever you want to start.

Minutes 20-21: Set Up Work Area
This is usually even less than a minute – mostly just grabbing the tray from the fridge to the work area that already has tools and such ready and waiting.

InMySmallKitchen Minute 22-30 is final prep/assembly
Using recipe, lay out the ingredients in the order needed

Most of the time much of this can be done in advance and in some cases I freeze the “ready for the oven” or the Ninja Foodi so dinner can be freezer to table in as little as 30 minutes, but usually averaging under an hour.

Admittedly, the 30 minute part may be longer, because of longer unattended cooking time (like 45 minutes in Pressure Cooker or Air Fryer

But mostly it is about “relaxed” cooking

It all starts with Mise-En-Place InMySmallKitchen
