Money Saving Minute number zero one zero - set your timer. Like most people, my time is limited so I have a tendency to try and tackle several tasks at once. In my haste to get both dinner cooked and laundry done I neglected to set my cooking timer. While I was gnawing threw my shoe leather chicken it occurred to me that overcooking is wasteful on more than one level. First, overcooking leads to food waste. If its dry or burnt chances are the leftovers are going in the garbage . . . If not the entire dish. Second, overcooked food requires something to help make it palatable so most of us reach for Catsup, butter or some kind of sauce. These condiments add unwanted calories and expense to a meal. Finally, although it may only be pennies, over cooking food requires more energy than food cooked to the correct doneness. So, by simply setting a timer when cooking we waste less food, don’t use as much high calorie condiments, save on energy and have a meal worth eating.
