1. When pressed for time, cut whatever you are cooking into smaller pieces. Meats, potatoes, etc, cook much faster when the pieces are small. This is the reason why stir fry foods cook so fast.
2. Ground meat always makes a great meal fast. Even if it's frozen, you can still quickly brown it while cooking pasta for a quick, filling meal in about a half hour.
3. Still in a rush? Use a lid to cook foods faster and retain moisture. This saves time and energy because the lid traps heat that continues to help cook the covered food.
4. Need to thicken something that came out too watery? Just add a bit of flour or cornstarch. This will absorb extra fluid and can give a dish a nice, creamy texture.
