Meal Prep FAQs
What are the best containers to use for meal prep?
When storing meal prep food in your freezer or fridge, you need to use airtight containers. Plastic containers are suitable for protein dishes, while glass containers are suitable for soups.
How long can I store prepped meals in the refrigerator?
You can store your meal prep dishes in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Label the date on the container to ensure you use the meals before they spoil.
Can I freeze any meal prep dish?
Yes, you can freeze meal prep food for up to 4 months, depending on the ingredients. Your stews and sauce-based meals will retain their flavours.
How can I keep my meal prep dishes varied and interesting?
When you cook a large batch of a dish, you can use it in different ways. For instance, you can use chicken in different dishes like soups or tacos.
Are there specific foods that should be avoided in meal prep due to spoilage risks?
Creamy-based products like custard may separate when frozen, while egg-based sauces curdle when defrosted. Mushrooms have a high spoilage risk since they lose their texture in the fridge.
What's the best way to reheat different types of prepped meals?
The best way to reheat depends on how it was originally cooked. A general rule is to use the same method of cooking to reheat, like an oven for baked dishes or stove top for stir-fries.
