Ingredient Prep School Prep and Freeze Substitute with Confidence The Test Kitchen's Top Tips for Meal Preppers Make the Most of Your Microwave Essential Equipment for Meal Prep How to Prep a Meal Building-Block Recipes Winning Strategies for Meal-Prep Success "What's for dinner?" Whether a family member is asking you or you're just silently asking yourself, if that question gives you a sinking feeling then you need this book. With the constant schedule juggling that we all do, meal planning and meal prep are invaluable skills to master if you want to avoid eating takeout every night. Efficient meal preppers take advantage of multiple strategies. Depending on your preferences and your available time in any given week, there are many different ways to customize meal prep. Plan intensive ingredient prep-ahead sessions Possibly the most valuable meal-prep habit to adopt is a “Sunday power hour,” during which time you can get well ahead of the weeknight scramble by completing as much advance kitchen work as possible. Avoid food waste by cross-utilizing fresh ingredients We designed these meal plans to use a limited number of ingredients in creative ways throughout the week. If you decide to experiment with creating your own plans, try to map out ways to efficiently use up what you buy at the grocery store while still keeping meals varied. Store assembled meal components together If prepped ingredients get cooked together, you can store them together. Our foil packet recipes, where the assembled ingredients become an entire meal, take this concept a step further. Double recipes for "freezer insurance" or intentional leftovers We tell you when a recipe doubles well for freezing. This doubling principle also applies to meal components, even if you can’t freeze them.
