Wanye .. You have given me some more great pointers thanks
We have just bought an extra freezer for the winter so I am going to start filing it up with meals I do a lot of meal packing but you are gold standard My pointers are I cut up fruit and freeze initially on a chopping board on parchment paper in the freezer you can then bag individual pieces for smoothies and they dont all fall out in one chunk Always buy yellow sticker bread if we need it as I make homemade burgers for quick meals using my go to £3;50 burger press from amazon Bulk buy meat , Cheese and Milk from Costco split it down and freeze Have one day a month where I batch cook and freeze loads of simple meals, Beef casserole, shephards pie, chicken korma etc raid the yellow sticker aisles for items that can be frozen , sauces , herbs which I chop and freeze ( chives are lovely mixed with mash ) |

i just do it as part of my normal cooking routine... so if im making a curry or something, i do enough for at least two more portions (for 2) - the large takeaway tubs are perfect for 2 people (the smaller size isnt generally enough i find, unless you bulk it out with some extra fresh veg/tomatoes/whatever)
i never freeze bread, it's too bulky/cheap - i'd rather use that space to house another kilo of mutton or something - the only exceptions to this are parathas, and dough balls for pizza/knedliky/pitta... but then we dont eat that much bread anyway, we get through maybe a loaf a week btw, if its any use, i find the tesco own brand sandwich/food bags to be the best quality cheap ones. they have double seals and are a decent thickness, so good for sous vide cooking as well |
