A Sinkful of Help in the Kitchen

Here's one of my very simplest, but most helpful tips.  Before you start cooking, draw a half a sinkful of hot, soapy water.  As you use something, wash it and lay it on a clean, dry towel.  You'll be surprised at how few dishes you have to do at the end of the job!  Also, you can easily wash your hands between steps.

Great tip! I've done this for so long. It's usually the first thing I do before I start cooking. Having the dish rag hot and soapy is great to wipe counters and stove spills as you go along too. Love that old picture!
