10 Kitchen Efficiency Tips

 

  1. Stay organized. Searching for that one skillet, spice or other misplaced must-have really slows down your cooking. Clean out your pantry and de-clutter your cabinets, and you lessen the likelihood of those time-consuming hunts.

Tip: Hang pots, pans and utensils in plain sight on a pegboard. Paint it, and it doubles as décor.

  1. Choose smart appliances. Let your dishwasher do the dirty work. Whirlpool® Sensor Cycle automatically selects the right wash and dry settings based on temperature, soil level and load size. It cleans tough soils 35% better* using just the right amount of time, energy and water, so you have more time to do what you love.
  1. 10 Kitchen Efficiency TipsPlan ahead. Get dinner on the table quicker—and forego last-minute trips to the store—with some simple prep work. Organize a week’s worth of meals with our free Menu Planner, and freeze homemade sauces in ice cube trays for busy nights.

Tip: Bake and freeze serving-sized breakfasts, lunches and dinners in your trusty muffin tin, and when hunger strikes, all you have to do is re-heat.

 

  1. Load the dishwasher properly. With dirty dishes coming in all shapes and sizes, it can be a bit of an art—until now. With our dishwasher loading tips and illustrated guide, you’ll have the know-how to fit every last plate.
  1. Clean often. A little cleaning now, and there’s less to tackle later. Do dishes while dinner’s in the oven, clear the table right after eating and quick clean the kitchen sink before bedtime.

Tip: After an initial scrub, regular cleaning helps keep the refrigerator, oven and entire kitchen sparkling for longer.
