Better heat and process management. If I have 2 minutes to toast almonds, I won’t be scrubbing a pan. But, if I have to cut veg and then saute, I’ll do all my prep and then start cleaning between stirs/pan heating.
Also, I love getting all my prep out of the way and then starting cooking. I immediately have much better process management to clean between cooking activities
I have done this. But when I cook my wife really loves the smell and starts getting hangry. Think it makes me rush it.
Its even worse with a toddler now lol.
I can do what you’re describing but I’ll realize I could have been cooking something for the 20 minutes I was doing prep for the next part. Can’t get the stages down well enough unless it’s something I’ve cooked a lot of times.

I’ve also found rinsing the dish/item if I’m in a rush between steps helps massively when I’m cleaning as I go too.
Ain’t no fixing the rush feeling though lol
