Ways To Avoid A Messy Kitchen

Cooking is one of our favorite hobbies, we love going into the kitchen and creating tasty meals and treats fro our loved ones. What we don’t love, however, is the trail of destruction that we leave behind. How come there’s so much mess?

Surely there must be a way around this? It wasn’t like this is the past, when the wealthy had servants to take care of their every need. So every meal they enjoyed was brought to table and they never had to give a second thought as to how it got there!

If you were at the other end of the social scale and didn’t have servants it wasn’t a problem either as you couldn’t afford to cook elaborate meals so there was little, if anything to clean up.

Next time you finish a session in the kitchen have a look around you. There are dirty plates, pans, utensils and a pile of appliances which were meant to save us time, not add to it!

Kitchen mess is embarrassing; we don’t like others to see how untidy we are. If you are lucky enough to afford servants then it isn’t an issue, but the majority of us can’t, so it is.

I’ve tried various things over the years, mostly unsuccessfully. The one I’m going to tell you about now however seems to have made life an awful lot easier, so why not give it a try yourself.

Clean as you go is now my kitchen motto. Keep a bowl of hot, soapy water and wash each piece as soon as you’ve used it. Then when you’ve finished, there will only be the last couple of things that you’ve used, so much better than a teetering pile of dirty dishes.

In the long run, leaving everything to the end is making more work for yourself. This is particularly difficult if you have guests for dinner, you know what a state your kitchen is in but can’t abandon your guests to go and clean up. Cleaning as you go means you can enjoy your evening as you know your kitchen is okay.
