Taking stock before using heat
Recommended by JVMy husband doesn’t love cooking, so he’s the “you” in this relationship. Everything gets covered in hot sauce if something goes awry—also a Rec! I love when he tries to pitch in/you guys are very fun to watch in the kitchen…One thing that helps him is taking a beat to assess before he turns the stove on, or puts food in the oven. That’s because, as soon as he adds heat to the equation, the operation starts to feel overwhelming. **So take stock! Is everything chopped? Is the “mise en place”? And then turn your knobs and set timers to help manage the heat.
