I used to be a disaster type cook but when I learned how to mise en
place with all the little bowls, etc, I became much better and
cleaner. It became much easier to wipe down and clean up my spot
after I prepped each ingredient. Then by the time the final cooking
stage came along, I just had to add my ingredients and put the dishes
in the dishwasher.

Mind you, I am not totally at this cleaner place, but I have gotten a
LOT better!!
