Five tips for more efficient cooking.

Set up your workspace by gathering clean tools, bowls and utensils. And make sure to keep a trashcan within arm’s reach.
To create an egg wash, whisk together a large egg with one tablespoon of water until smooth. Use as a glue to seal pastries, then brush on top for a glossy appearance.
Peel tomatoes with ease! Cut an X in the top, and then simmer in a pot of hot water for 15 to 30 seconds. Cool down and the skin will fall right off.
Invest in a baking scale. Scales are not only an accurate way to measure your cooking ingredients, but they streamline the entire process.
Clean as you go.
