Batch cooking, kesako!? Behind this mysterious name ("batch cooking" translates to "batch cooking" in VF) is a fairly simple concept:take advantage of a cooking moment to prepare several meals at once . At stake ? An obvious time saver and by the way, the assurance of eating "homemade" , therefore more healthy .
At the time, you have to plan a little more time in the kitchen than if you were preparing a single meal, but if you give it two or three hours on the weekend, you can be quiet all the rest of the week and just for we love it!
Concretely, batch cooking comes in two main forms:
To start, the best thing is to establish a menu of the different meals of the week, in order to optimize the preparation of each (even if it means cooking carrots for a mash, we prepare a little more for a gratin, a flan or a soup), but also the shopping. Then it's the organization at the level of the kitchen itself (taking out all the ingredients and all the utensils), but also of time optimization (example:we peel all the carrots at once, and while they cook, we take care of cutting the meat into small pieces). Obviously we make 2-in-1 as soon as possible, for example we can bake a pie and a quiche at the same time!
Bonus:you only dirty the utensils once, so it also saves time in terms of dishes, and you avoid a lot of waste. In short, batch cooking is all good! So, do you want to get started?
