15 min Lunch

A balanced, delicious meal does not mean slaving away for hours, which is a good thing in today’s busy world.You can have a meal on the table in 30 minutes or less, using some simple steps:

• Have all the tools and cookware that you need out and ready when starting the meal.

• The foods you use can affect how long dinner will take to cook. Choose ingredients that can be purchased partially prepared such as bagged precut vegetables. Take advantage of supermarket convenience foods. Store-bought glazes, rubs, and marinades can add a whole lot of flavor in very little time.

• When a recipe calls for moist heat, turn to your microwave. Salmon steaks, for example, cook more rapidly and are easier to handle than when they’re poached on the stovetop. The higher the wattage, the faster food cooks; our recipes were tested in 1,000- watt ovens.

• Have a slow cooker? Before leaving the house for work or errands, load an electric slow cooker with the ingredients for stew or chili. For best results, choose a cooker that has a heating element in the sidewall for even heating, both high and low settings, and a liner or crock that can be removed for cleaning.
