Slight improvement: especially when preparing a
complex meal, there are often moments where you must
let things bake/simmer/marinate/whatever.  By this
point, you will usually have accumulated certain items
(ingredient packaging, if nothing else) that should
eventually be cleaned or disposed of.  Use those
moments to do so.  It's kind of like threads sharing
time in a single-CPU system, where you're the CPU.
