Why Mise en Place Should be Standard Practice in your Kitchen

Mise en place is a French phrase that means “everything in its place.” It’s a method followed in professional kitchens world-wide to bring joy and ease through an organized process. When you're scrambling in the kitchen and your sauce is burning on the stovetop while you’re chopping an onion and trying to measure your spices, cooking is stressful. Cooking with mise en place techniques helps you stay one step ahead of your recipe to dial those stress-levels down.

Mise en place makes cooking more organized, efficient, and enjoyable. To cook using mise en place best-practices, start by preparing your ingredients and instruments ahead of time. By chopping, measuring, separating, and preparing your tools before you begin to cook, you can experience cooking as it should be as a relaxing and creative outlet. Simply put, mise en place cooking brings kitchen stress levels down so you can enjoy the process of cooking.
