7 habits chefs swear by for an efficient kitchen - make dinnertime less stressful with these small changes

A modern yellow kitchen with white worktop and matching kitchen island.

Dinnertime can be chaotic. When the Alexa timer’s blaring, and you can’t even remember what it’s for, plus the kids are edging toward full-blown hangry, it’s inevitably this moment that you realise you forgot to preheat the oven, so now dinner’s running 15 minutes behind.

There’s no doubt about it, dinnertime can be stressful! Anyone who has watched The Bear or any other cooking show knows that things can get heated in professional kitchens, and yet, day after day these talented individuals can deliver under the most intense circumstances. So how do pro chefs do it without caving under the pressure?

Spoiler alert – it’s all about adopting smart habits. The good news? You don’t need a professional-grade kitchen or a Michelin star to try their tricks. These habits are all about efficiency, effective kitchen organisation tips, and taking the chaos out of cooking.

We enlisted the help of four expert chefs to talk us through their seven habits for an efficient kitchen that we can transfer to our homes to make dinner an altogether more efficient and enjoyable experience.
