I have a top drawer just below the counter top and to the right of stovetop. Here I keep it empty, but as I get ready to cook a meal I move the needed utensils, measuring cups, measuring spoons, knives, cuptowels, that will be used, it keeps my countertop clear, it's easy to do, after cooking so many meals I know exactly what I will need, it is waiting in one place, a single hand move away. I keep a trash bowl on the counter as Ive watched on the test kitchen, and a deep tall container with water, here I drop used utensils, measuring cups, etc. My vision is limited on some days due to screen time. The organization helps, and I thank you for your tips. I love the test kitchen books, amazing, my hope is when I'm no longer here in my kitchen family members will cherish them.
For me personally as a home cook, I learned to take advantage of gaps in the cooking process to wash the dishes and keep the sink area as clear as possible to facilitate movement and maximize working space for when the cooking process gets hot and heavy.
When reading a recipe, highlight any unusual ingredients and instructions. This helps when deciding what to make or makng shopping. Especially important when trying new recipes. 😊 Also, note date you made it and rate it, excellent to yuck!😊
First rule to cutting boards, and i did this. Choose the side you want to use. Then flip it over, get a power screw driver and install feet. You'll likely never use the reverse side anyway.
I'm with you on all of them except the kitchen towel as pot holder. They don't protect, get in stuff/wet/dirty/scorched, etc. Am glad the silicone grips are more ubiquitous now.
Cook outside your comfort zone? So, cook outside? What exactly does that mean?
Vegetable cuttings are not trash. They go into a composting system.
The guy who said "cook outside your comfort zone" will be a Michelin star chef one day. It's just a vibe I'm getting, OK?
*Things coming off the cutting board should go into your compost bucket…not the trash. Please.
Reading the recipe a couple times seems obvious enough but it really does help. You can also make substitutes before hand.
Don't stress about not having a specific ingredient, determine an appropriate substitute and use what you got on hand.

Reading a recipe two to three times is very helpful and I always screw up when I don’t…lessons learned

LOVE THIS!!!
All good tips! My grandmother taught me to read your recipe through before starting anything.

So many good pieces of advice!
Really useable info
What is he saying to use when cooking fish or meat? I can't understand his accent. Please help me. 😇
Thanks
If you're baking, then measure by weight, not measuring cup
What does the British guy say? I hear "Use a thorough pet". Thanks
Evaluate each dish after cooking. What worked? What didn't? How could you change it up next time?
Always make sure your knives are sharp. Spend more money on you knife sharpener than your knives.
“Trash bowl”
—side-eyes trash pile on counter.
Yeah, I always do that!
Replace "trash bowl" with "compost bowl" and I'd be complete agreement!
