One super efficient woman we know does most of her cooking on one night, right after her shopping. While she does have to heat up the main dish and prepare vegetables each day, her main courses have all been made. The major advantage of this system is that you can have a full course dinner on the table in lickety-split time.
It's great when you come home late, too. And there are other, less obvious advantages:
• less organizing time: she doesn't put things away and have to get them out again the next day)
• saves storage space: she can get rid of cans and boxes right away)
• saves clean up time: most of the mess is made at once, so there is only one big clean-up, not seven)
Organizing the Cooking Techniques
It takes a super-energetic person as well as one who is super organized to be able to do the weekly shopping, cooking and cleaning on top of a full working day. In fact, this approach to shopping and cooking might be called "the marathon method".
Night by Night Method 
However, many working people find that occasional, one-day cooking marathons or several "mini-marathons provide sufficient makings for a variety of made in advance meals.
The opposite approach is the night by night" method. This method involves no pre-preparation beyond actually having the ingredients in the house. And even then, you could shop every day.
There are certainly many foods that take little time to prepare. But the exclusive use of night by night cooking can leave you in a jam if you're held up unexpectedly, have company arrive or have any breakdown in your normal routine.
It seems to work best for people who get home from work around 4 o'clock. This early homecoming allows for "time-out" before starting dinner. But for the cook who arrives home later, this method could easily turn into an eating out night after night method.
Roasting Method Organized
Roasting uses dry heat and requires little attention except when basting is involved. However, even this can be circumvented by the use of roasting bags.
The advantages of using the bags: less of your attention is needed, less oven mess.
The disadvantages: higher cost and fat retention during the cooking process. (Setting the roast or chicken on a small wire rack inside the roasting bag will help reduce fat retention.) The slow roast method, which involves a much lower oven temperature for a much longer period of time.
Also, you cannot make proper space for this process in the small kitchens, said in kitchen note.
Also, it involves less meat shrinkage, less spatter and also permits the use of somewhat less expensive cuts than for ordinary roasting.
Baking/ Dray Heath Method
Baking, another dry heat method, is midway between a long-term and a short-term cooking method, as the time depends so much on the size and type of food baked.
The most flexible way of coping is a combination of cooking in advance and cooking night-by-night. Some nights are slotted for the main course that has been made in advance (either partially or entirely) and some nights are slotted for quick cook meals.
This permits variety in both the kinds of cooking involved and also the types of dishes served. You just need a good amount of water supply in the kitchen, which is gettable with any shorts of workable faucet in the kitchen.
Casseroles night after night can leave you with a craving for a hunk of meat you can sink your teeth into. Equally, steak or chops every night leave you craving something a bit more adventurous.
Long and Short Term Method
Recipes and cooking techniques can also be usefully seen as belonging to one of two groups: the "long-term" and the "short term". As with the cooking methods, each type has advantages and disadvantages.
An understanding of the difference between the two types of cooking techniques is a valuable aid for organizing your cooking time. Again, the aim is to use the best combination of both for your family.
