You can load the ingredients in the morning or even in the evening, set the desired cooking mode and forget about them until the dish is ready. This is especially convenient for preparing soups, stews and other dishes that require long stewing.

Prepare ingredients in advance

You can pre-cut vegetables, clean chicken, or prepare sauces ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use.

This will significantly speed up the cooking process at the right moment. Of course, you need to prepare all the ingredients wisely, showing rationality.

Many foods need to be marinated.

Marinating can add a unique flavor to a dish, but it takes a lot of time.

To reduce this time, you can use vacuum packaging or simply pour the marinade into a bag with frozen ingredients. This will allow the ingredients to soak up the flavors faster and give the dish a brighter taste.
