    Do a bit of research about foods that freeze and revive well. What can you put in the freezer that you didn't know you could?

    I have started buying produce and freezing it more frequently. Even though I knew I could buy frozen veggies and fruit, it wasn't something I was properly taking advantage of.

    How has using a timer changed your kitchen routine?

    Beforehand I tended to overcook or burn food more frequently because I'm easily distracted by my pets or phone. Now my cooking tastes better and I'm more efficient at making it.
