With all the cleaning and cooking that needs to get done, we know that Passover<\/a> can be a stressful time. That’s why we’ve gathered some tips and tricks from Oorah’s Veteran Pesach-Makers\u2014 <\/span>to help you have a more relaxed Pesach experience. Deep breaths, guys. You got this!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Before you do anything else, plan your cleaning and cooking schedule, breaking
    \ndown big jobs into manageable, bite-sized tasks. Knowing what you have to do
    \nwhen to be ready on time will keep you from feeling overwhelmed. Make sure
    \nto keep this schedule realistic based on your own circumstances\u2014what works
    \nfor your neighbor may not work for you.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Make lists for everything!<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Plan your menu in advance so you can make your shopping lists based on your
    \nmenu. But get the essentials (food for the Seder and first days) done first and
    \nsave the extras and the fancy dishes and desserts for last. If necessary, you can
    \nalways buy what you don\u2019t get around to making.<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0Invest in a standalone freezer<\/a>\u2014it will be your best friend! Most foods CAN
    \nbe successfully frozen.<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0Instead of staying up all night for a week, start earlier and fit a few more minutes
    \nof work into each day. Do as much in advance as possible.<\/li>\n
  6. \u00a0Pesach cleaning is not spring cleaning! It may be convenient to do both
    \nsimultaneously but don\u2019t let it add unnecessary stress to your Yom Tov
    \npreparations.<\/li>\n
  7. \u00a0It may be helpful to \u201cdeep-clean\u201d your kitchen early on in the process when
    \nyou have more time so that your final cleaning right before Pesach will be much
    \neasier.<\/li>\n
  8. \u00a0Don\u2019t wait until right before Pesach to do all your shopping. Once you have
    \none room ready, buy a little each week.<\/li>\n
  9. \u00a0Don\u2019t be afraid to use paper goods. They have really nice patterns now and if
    \nit means you don\u2019t have to stay up washing the dishes, use them!<\/li>\n
  10. \u00a0Plan your cooking schedule around your ingredients: for example, once you\u2019re
    \npeeling apples, make all your recipes with apples (compote, charoses, kugels
    \nand cakes). You can also chop and saute as many onions or other vegetables
    \nas you anticipate needing for all your dishes at once.<\/li>\n
  11. \u00a0Spread a clear plastic tablecloth on your counter or table when peeling. It makes
    \ncleanup so much easier!<\/li>\n
  12. \u00a0Try to make time in your schedule for resting the day of the Seder<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  13. \u00a0Once you\u2019ve successfully made Pesach once, create a manual to update yearly.
    \nInclude how long various cleaning projects and cooking took you, things you
    \nneed to buy, quantities of food you need, what worked and what didn\u2019t work\u2026
    \nanything you might find helpful the next year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
