25 Ways to Reduce Kitchen Work
This blog contains affiliate links to cherished items I enjoy using to cut down on kitchen labor.
Pack Extra Cookware and Hide the Box
You only need to keep one plate and one cup for each family member in the cabinet! If there are four frying pans in the mix, scale down to one or two. If you're overwhelmed by pots, keep only one saucepan and one stock pot for pasta and stews. Folks who enjoy cooking while you're away at work will be forced to wash a pot or pan before they begin, and you'll never get stuck washing every piece of cookware you own at once.

Shred Rotisserie Chickens and Freeze Single Portions in Ziplock Bags
