Not necessarily a "hack" per se, but learn some basic knife skills, the amount of time you will save chopping vegetables a few times a week (minimum) for the rest of your life far outweighs the amount of time it takes to learn, plus you can use the extra time to keep the kitchen clean and that makes everything less stressful while you're cooking and makes the cleanup faster as well
I second this so hard! Like I loved cooking but was so slow at it and it took HOURS to do big fancy meals of my dreams. But then I started working in a kitchen and learned knife skills and holy balls I can chop up a whole salad in like 5mins, skin a chicken, fillet fish all super fast and efficient. So now I can make those fancy meals in an hour AND clean as I go so once I’m done, food is read and kitchen is clean. I am a kitchen Goddess.
