Saving Food
You wouldn’t know it, but there are regular and inexpensive kitchen appliances- such as a freezer and a pressure cooker, will help you save food, electricity, and time – that is if you use them wisely. Here are some tips on how to be more thrifty and efficient when it comes to food preparation:
Pre-cook meals and store them in your freezer. This will help you save time. Choose one day of the week to cook everything you will need for a week, or a few days. Place food in freezer-friendly containers and stick them in the freezer. This way, all you need to do is to heat them in the microwave. Very helpful on busy mornings.
Freezing can also be done to leftover vegetables and meat which are too small for a main meal. These can be made into a tasty and nutritious soup when you have accumulated enough.
Fruits that are beginning to be overripe can also be frozen which in turn can be used for breakfast smoothies.
You can buy less-choice cuts of meat and give them a go at the pressure cooker. These can be tenderized well. If you have lots of vegetables and fruits, you can use the pressure cooker as a canner. Create jams and other preserves. This is another way to keep food from going to waste.
