Batch Please: The Dos and Don’ts of Successful Batch Cooking - My Recipes
If you’re a newbie meal prepper, these tips can save you time, money, and a great deal of mental effort.
We don’t have to tell you that meal prep is all the rage. But honestly, we have to ask: what took us so long?
The idea of batch cooking meals on the weekend or a slow weeknight for the days ahead is genius. It cuts down on kitchen time, frees you up for other pursuits (anybody else watching The Bachelor this season?), and helps you eat better. When you have ready-made meals sitting in the fridge or freezer at home, the temptation to pick up fast food or order in slips away. That equals big savings, too.
If you’ve been meal prep curious for some time, this is the beginner’s guide you need for getting started. We’ve road-tested each and every one of these strategies, and we practice what we preach with these tips.
