By Edward Sullivan


Many people know that making food at home is better for health as well as easier on the wallet. Yet, many people are not aware of the fact that cooking equipment and recipes are more evolved than the previous generation. From seasonings that are measured for accuracy to silicone baking molds that easily eliminate some of the steps in traditional cooking.

These are the main two things about preparing meals at home that the average working person despises. Too much or little of the wrong seasoning can ruin a meal. Prepping other ingredients take a lot of time. Probably the most dreaded is the cleanup afterwards.

The problem with eating out all the time is that it can become unhealthy. Even restaurants that claim to have light or low calorie menu selections will still costs significantly more than home cooking. If a person has existing health issues, cooking at home can help them in many ways. Taking time to learn about new advancements in cooking is a worthy investment in self.

Some of these are very expensive or contained a coating that may expose toxins when overheated. In most cases, the nonstick coating comes off after extended use and oil is still needed to prevent food from sticking.

Cookware made with silicone never needs oils or nonstick spray to cook food evenly. While these may not look like sturdy by appearance, these can tolerate high heat without losing their shape. Compares to ceramic or metal products, cleanup is much easier.

This means being able to make cupcakes or muffins without using a liner or scorched butter at the bottom of pan. Additionally, some pans are deep enough for mixing ingredients before baking. Silicone is safe for storing, freezing, and reheating foods within the normal times. Pans will retain shape and never rust or stain.

When it comes to cooking preparation, there are three ways to save time and money. Buy produce that is already chopped and diced in the produce section. Frozen chopped vegetables are another good choice. The other is to buy large or bulk amounts of produce and clean as normal before cutting. Afterwards, divide into small portions and place inside freezer bags or containers and freeze immediately.

For the person learning their way around the kitchen, small portions of prepacked recipe seasonings are a good choice. Herbs and spices can be costly and take up space that may be used for something else. However, a happy medium may be to buy in bulk and freeze what is not being used.

Kitchen tools of today have come a long way and can save a lot of headache. Anyone who doubts their kitchen skills should check out a few online tutorials. This can help them begin to learn heat temperatures as well as cooking times. As time passes, they will have the confidence and skills to create meals faster than they once imagined.
