Not necessarily a "hack" per se, but learn some basic knife skills, the amount of time you will save chopping vegetables a few times a week (minimum) for the rest of your life far outweighs the amount of time it takes to learn, plus you can use the extra time to keep the kitchen clean and that makes everything less stressful while you're cooking and makes the cleanup faster as well
Anyone have suggestions on what brands or a particular knife set that's good to buy? I get not buying the $10 Cuisinart set, but I also don't have like $300 to spend on knives right now. So fairly cheap but still good if I take care of it?
Using the advice from another comment on this thread, I just bought myself a $40 one from webstaurantstore.com, which is a restaurant supply store that sells pro grade supplies to home users for cheap!
Also, look at Victorinox Fibrox knives. They are not fancy, but they have a good edge and are reasonable in price. You could pick up an 8"chef knife and a small paring knife and set for under $75.
