A CLEAN KITCHEN

When getting ready to cook any large meal I find it a lot easier for clean up if I start with a clean kitchen.

Take a few minutes before you begin cooking to empty the dishwasher and clean any other dishes that might be lying aroun the sink.

Now as you are preparing your meal, you can place your dirty items directly into the dishwasher.

Now, just before you sit down to eat, set up your washer cycle.

When your meal is done, all of your dishes should be clean and dry.

Now just put away your cooking utensils and fill the washer with your dining utensils and the kitchen is clean.

If you don't have a dishwasher, leave some hot soapy water in the sink, and simply wash each item as you are done using it and place on a rack to dry.
