Own multiple sets of measuring utensils to avoid washing mid-cook
Having extra measuring tools lets you keep cooking without stopping to wash and reuse the same spoon/cup.
The instructor suggests getting a couple sets of measuring utensils so you don’t have to do dishes constantly while cooking. It’s framed as a practical workflow improvement.
The short version
- Extra measuring sets reduce mid-recipe dishwashing
Why it works
Reduces interruptions and keeps your cooking pace steady, especially when measuring multiple ingredients.
