Most recipes feel slow because of the chopping, not the cooking. These five habits save more time than any gadget.
The five
- Keep your knife sharp: a dull blade slips and slows you down
- Use the claw grip to protect your fingertips
- Halve round vegetables first so they sit flat
- Rock the knife for herbs instead of chopping up and down
- Clear the board as you go
Practise on an onion every night for a week and you will notice the difference.
