What's your favorite time-saving way to cook?

[deucher]

Everyone who prepares food tries to reduce the cooking time in order to spend more time on their needs and not standing at the stove. How can you save time when you cook something complicated and it takes more than 2 hours. Is it possible, for example, to save time, to use a dirty plate for something else if you have no clean dishes left and not to wash it and not waste time?

I use pressure cooker to cook, which saves a lot of time. I also like to soak food items like rice or beans, or marinate, for sometime before I cook as soaking and marinating saves time.
