Just wondering how soon can I prepare vegies for the night. Like peel potatoes, pumpkin, corn etc? I find this time 10-12 is my quiet time where most of the cleaning is done and baby DD is sleeping. Come 530pm its always so hectic and then DD is crying whilst I'm madly trying to get dinner prepared to cook it. Is it safe to have the vegies ready to start cooking and leave in some cool water from say 11am until they get cooked at 530pm? That would also reduce the cleaning after dinner to if its all ready to go I just need to cook it. I did love the slow cooker for this reason but its so hot now all my slow cooker meals we love are more suited to winter.
What does everyone else do?
