Notes about Recipes in this book

  • The creamiest, lightest scrambled eggs in under a minute

    • schmootc on September 21, 2021

      Super quick and creamy. Cornstarch is the way to go!

  • Microwave pasta carbonara

    • schmootc on October 16, 2021

      This didn’t turn out well. I think I added too much water and also didn’t cook it long enough to begin with. 950 watt microwave needed another 3-5 minutes for first cook. Cheese got all clumpy because pasta wasn’t tender enough and I had to cook it longer on second cook, :(

  • Crunchy herb-coated chicken breasts

    • schmootc on September 21, 2021

      I would have liked the coating to be a bit more crunchy. And flavorful, though perhaps my spices were old. Maybe put under broiler for last few minutes of cook?

  • Sheet-pan turkey Caesar salad

    • Wende on September 30, 2021

      This is not really anything like a Caesar salad, but it was very good. A better name would be Caesar-Salad Inspired Roast Turkey Cutlets with Romaine Wedges. I will definitely make it again, but plan to brown the romaine in a very hot grill pan on top of the stove instead. Grilling it would be best, but would not be in the spirit of sheet pan ease.

  • One-pan tuna skewers with miso butter and kale

    • Wende on September 30, 2021

      Proceed at your own risk with this one. In my house, no one liked this and it was really unappealing to look at... especially if you are used to having your tuna lightly seared or raw, and not gray-brown. The kale cooked down to nothing. The miso butter for the tuna on top of the mirin, soy, rice vinegar for the kale seemed like it would be great, but it simply didn't work. I live where I can literally get tuna off the boat, and regularly do. This recipe ruined one of the most beautiful pieces of tuna, among many, that I've ever bought.

  • No-cutting-board no-prep arroz con pollo

    • lmhester on November 18, 2021

      Absolute comfort food! We followed the recipe note and used chorizo instead of the Italian sausage and it was absolutely delicious — and easy to prepare. I would do this one again!

Publishers Text

The ultimate collection of recipes to make real food, real fast--with hundreds of ways to cook smarter, not harder.

The Kitchen Shortcut Bible is for all of us who love to cook, but never seem to have enough time. Rather than a book of way-too-clever hacks, this is a collection of more than 200 ingenious recipes that supercharge your time in the kitchen without sacrificing high quality or fresh flavor.

Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough come to this, their definitive tome on shortcut cooking, after twenty-nine cookbooks and decades of experience in the kitchen. Not only do they know about putting great meals on the table, they also know that most people's nightly question isn't "what's for dinner," but "what's for dinner in the next half hour?"

They've got risotto in minutes, no-fry chicken parm, and melted ice cream pound cake. But these recipes aren't merely "semi-homemade." They've also got slow cooker confits, no-boil stuffed cabbage, and a fine holiday turkey straight out of the freezer, as well as new ways to think about sheet pan suppers, Asian noodle dishes without a wok, and no-churn ice creams. And no MacGuyver-ing either! There are lots of new ways to use the kitchen tools you already own, imparting concrete shortcuts that save time and make something good into something great.

When dinner is a problem to be solved, this is your cheat sheet.
