SET FOR SUCCESS

SHOP ONCE, EAT ALL WEEK

If it’s Sunday and you haven’t thought ahead to what you’ll have for dinner on Thursday, you’re missing out on the world’s simplest time-saving tool: meal planning! Write out a list of what you’ll need to prep your family’s meals for the entire week, and get it all in a single supermarket trip before your busy weekday cycle begins. There’s no need to worry about wilted veggies when you have a Bosch refrigerator that is equipped with the special Vitafresh system. It maintains just the right level of humidity and helps keep produce fresh longer.

CALL IN THE TROOPS!

You don’t have to handle meal prep alone: enlist your family’s help. Even young kids can gather ingredients from the fridge, and Bosch’s large-capacity drawers and shelves mean it’s highly unlikely the broccoli will have been flattened by a jar of pickles. (Everything in its place!) Plus, the efficient LED lighting system keeps items in clear view without hogging a lot of electricity. Once your ingredients are on the counter, kids can shift to souschef mode. Safe tasks for little ones include tearing lettuce, crumbling cheese and whisking dressing. Older kids can peel veggies and stir sauces or brown meat on the stove.

LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS

Plan to make a double batch of your favourite casserole, soup or stew, allowing you to easily transform leftovers into lunches or use them as a base for tomorrow’s dinner. Consider cooking more than one recipe at a time: Bosch stoves have five burners and three oven racks, so you’ll have space for it all. Don’t your weeknights feel less stressed already?
