Ramadan is a time of reflection, prayer, and gathering. With the daily rush of preparing Iftar, your kitchen can quickly turn into a chaotic space. By following these iftar preparation tips, you can keep your kitchen organised, efficient, and stress-free, so you can focus on what truly matters during this special time.
1. Declutter & deep-clean before Ramadan starts
Start by clearing out unnecessary items in your kitchen. Declutter & deep-clean before Ramadan begins to save you time and effort later.
Quick Tip: Decluttering
- Sort your pantry into categories like grains, spices, canned goods, and snacks to make it easier to find what you need.
- If your kitchen needs a serious refresh, we can help you take care of the deep cleaning before Ramadan.
2. Create an Iftar prep station
Set up a dedicated area in your kitchen with all your Iftar essentials. Keep cooking oils, spices, dates, and frequently used utensils within easy reach to speed up meal prep.
Quick Tip: Prep Station
Use clear containers and labels for ingredients to make everything easy to find, especially when you’re in a rush to prepare meals before sunset.
3. Plan & prep your meals in advance
Plan & prep your meals in advance to save you hours in the kitchen. Write down a weekly Iftar menu and do bulk meal prep where possible.
Quick Tip: Meal Prep
Chop veggies, marinate meats, and pre-make sauces to reduce cooking time. Freeze pre-portioned meals in labelled containers so you can simply reheat and serve.
4. Clean as you cook
A messy kitchen can make Iftar prep stressful. Get into the habit of cleaning as you cook! Wash utensils, wipe counters, and put away ingredients as you go. This prevents grease and dirt buildup and keeps your kitchen manageable.
Quick Hack: Cleaning
Keep a bowl of warm soapy water next to the sink and drop used utensils in as you cook. This makes washing up much easier later.
