A Breath of Fresh Air

Respire  ar fresco

Here are some quick ideas for less work tomorrow.

  Clean as you Go!  

When cooking, you can save yourself the headache of a pile of dishes and cleaning up at the end of the meal by cleaning as you go. Wipe away any spilled grease or sauces immediately, it will be easier than waiting until the end of the evening as the stains harden over time making it harder to clean later.


 

Fast After-the-Feast Cleanup

Keep a large bowl near your prep area for trimmings and garbage so that cleanup is as quick as tipping the contents of the bowl into the trash can – it’s that easy!  Wash prep dishes, measuring spoons and jugs as you are done using them so that by the time you and your family sit down to eat there won’t be any dirty dishes in the sink.

                                                            

Make It Easier Next Time

Double- or triple-line the trash can, so you already have a clean bag in place when a full bag is removed.

                                                            

 Microwave Miracle

Clean the microwave by mixing 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Bring it to a rolling boil inside the microwave. Baked-on food will be loosened, and odors will disappear. Wipe clean.
