Reducing Ingredients Or Pared Down Cooking

If you want a real cooking
challenge, go from cooking for a
large family, to cooking for one
or two! Most recipes make 4 to 6
servings, which is just too much
for one or two people.

Here are a few tips, including a
chart to reduce ingredients that
will make cooking for fewer people
a lot easier, without an abundance
of leftovers!

One of the first things to think
about is that smaller portions
require smaller tools; you wont
really need a large crock-pot for
a meal for one or two.

Remember also that large casserole
dishes, cake pans etc. are too
large, they allow for too much
evaporation.

There are many scaled down baking
dishes available, as well as
crock-pots, electric skillets,
coffee pots, and toaster ovens,
choose a pan that is slightly
larger than the amount you will be
cooking.

If you are like me, you love
biscuits, there are many frozen
biscuits on the market, and all
you need do is take out one or two.

If you like your own biscuits,
just make a batch and freeze them
on a cookie sheet covered in wax
paper, when they are frozen, put
in a freezer bag.

When you want biscuits, take out
the number you want and bake them.
Cooking times may also need to be
adjusted; a good
instant-read-thermometer is
invaluable for this.

Casseroles 160 to 180 degrees or
when they start to bubble. Some
items will require the normal
amount of cooking because the
thickness of the items determines
the cooking time.
