Storing Meal Prep and Keeping it Fresh

How I Store and Keep Meal Prep Fresh 🍗🍚🍝

Showing you all how I store meals in the fridge and freezer to maximize flavor and freshness!

1.) whatever I plan to eat within the next 3-4 days goes straight into the fridge
2.) the rest of the meals go into the freezer, where they can last up to 6 months
3.) pick a meal from the fridge and reheat it in the microwave; I keep the lid on and slightly off-center to allow the meal to steam
4.) transfer a meal from the freezer to the fridge and place it in the back of the line; this gives it 1-2 days to defrost before reheating
5.) as I cook fresh meals for dinners throughout the week, I turn leftovers into extra meal prep
6.) I add these extra meals into the freezer and fridge to create even more of a variety
7.) I try to meal prep 2-3 different meals a week in addition to cooking 2-3 fresh homemade dinners a week; this gives us at least 4-6 different meals to choose from
8.) repeat the cycle and enjoy!

Good idea for rotation. I always save my take-out containers and reuse them. I know glass may be better but I also like to reuse and put less in the trash.

This was the exact video I was searching for.
Thank you.

Save containers and lunch meat bowls. Very handy!

[tironzab]

Thanks! This is such a useful tip specially if you dont have that much time to cook everyday! 🎉

I am bedbound so don't cook anymore. My caregivers will make a meal with several servings. I will eat one, the remainder goes into food prep containers and into the freezer. I have divided food prep containers also. So there could be two sides and a main to be heated in the microwave at a later time. Works great for holiday meals especially as generally there's a lot of food made at one time. Soups also. I have 8 oz and 16 oz containers so the soups and stews are frozen into servings that I will eat at one time. Desserts also. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes so I can eat just one or two, the rest go into the freezer.

Using plastic containers, is it safe and healthy?

If I spend that amount of money in the beginning of the month to meal prep all my meals for the next six months then will I be left with any money to spend of the rest of the things?

Is it safe if vegetables are cooked then frozen and reheated by microwave?

[GunSalute]

I meal prep for the year (365). It usually takes me just under a week to get it all done.

[MichaelsVlogz]

freezer burn though in those kind of trays?

[Mileko-fvpb]

Great idea, but my only problem is I get tired of food too soon. And with the price of groceries, wasting food is not an option.

[MrsGoodLife]

To those containers stop freezer burn?

[shantelheadlam]

Is it even healthy to lay away food for so long?

[Dbatem]

Great idea except for microwaving in the plastic

[sadiaahmedguthrie]

Plastic is a big no go for me. You did everything else right.

[mykonos]

Heating up plastic is always a good idea💀

[arnaldoarocho]

I been told It's not healthy to eat microwave food all the time.
