Freezer cooking

[twiney]

Do you do this or know anybody who does? If yes how do you make it work?

what is freezer cooking?

eta: never mind

If you’re new to Freezer Cooking, the idea is to spend a few days each month cooking in bulk and freezing your meals so the rest of the month you have little to no meal prep.

well i see (fitness) people on FB that cook meals and chop vegetables for the whole week- usually on Sundays (the vegetables probably are just for a couple of days at a time i guess).

and I know a lady that buy all her stuff in bulk, chop and season what need to be seasoned and then freeze it (without cooking)

Dont really know of anyone that cook a month ahead on a regular basis though (the food taste ok when it defrost?)

I try to cook several dishes on Sunday. I make enough to last until about Wednesday, nothing is frozen. Then on Wednesday and Thursday I cook something quick like bully beef and rice, salt fish, or thin sliced steaks.

If the taste of cooked frozen foods is acceptable to the eater, I think that is a good option.

I tried it for 3 months couple years ago because I was working 2 jobs, did not work for me because midway thru the month mi change mi mind about what I want to eat.

The food did not taste like freezer because I used the special freezer bags.

I've seen both the cook and freeze and the prep and freeze ...

Since I'm not a big fan of the cooked frozen food I am exploring the prep and freeze option.

you know me well don't you?

I already make batch meatballs and every recipe suggest baking them before freezing. I always freeze them uncooked . 2 days max and then is just the other adult in the house eat it. The boys are just like me they don't like left overs.
