Meal Prep Containers

>>40212704
meal prep general? /mpg/

how long do you guys actually store your stuff? I cant keep chicken in a box in the fridge for a whole week, can I?

>>40212728
Nah you freeze it then thaw it out in the microwave. It doesn't taste the greatest sure but it gets the job done. Just set a time every week to make your meals and make a routine of it and easy as pie cunt bob's your child molesting uncle with beautiful hands.

>>40212728
Put however many in the fridge. And all the rest in the freezer
Everytine you take out the fridge, swap in one in from the freezer. one out, one in

today is actually my prep day, so I'll make lots more than usually and put it in the freezer. I normally prep for two days, then repat on the third. thank you both.

I meal prep the weeks lunches and dinners every sunday.

Lunch x 6
>roasted fingerling potatoes
>broccoli
>cajun crusted sole

Dinner x 6
>brown rice
>sausage, chicken and kidney beans in tomato sauce

I put 3 of each in the fridge, 3 of each int he freezer

>>40212704
You can buy meal prep containers from eBay. Just search that exact term.

Can get like 20 for $28AUD
I don't know if they're legit safe for microwaving or BPA free though. I might risk it.

>>40213040
> from Hong Kong

Nah, don't wanna risk it

>>40213057
Yeah that's why I haven't purchased any yet.
Then again though, everything you'll find in fucking Coles or somewhere would probably come from Hong Kong too, but cost you $5 per container. Prices suck here.

>>40213062
Atleast Coles & Woolies have a presumption of safety.
Easier to go in and raise hell in the event the containers posion you

>>40212704
I use the red things from woolies, bought a few a week so i could afford food too. They work well at least

>>40212704
any good reheat-able BPA free containers?

or does anyone know of any nice wood containers?

>>40214815

Wood? Worse than BPA..
shitton of bacteria

Just buy a glass one

>>40214878
that'd probably be better. I'd be worried that I'd break them though.

> 2 lbs ground beef
> 2 lbs whole wheat pasta
> 3 green peppers
> 2 cans Ragu red pepper/onion sauce

Bring water to a high boil (important). Cook pasta for 8-10 minutes, if freezing it you want the pasta al dente. Brown ground beef, add spices. Cook green peppers in olive oil, add to ground beef when done. Add pasta sauce to beef/peppers.

Spoon pasta into 7 separate containers, then meat sauce on top. I usually freeze 3 and keep 4 in the fridge. Eat one each day for lunch.

For around $10 depending on beef price you can get 7 very nutritious meals. I have eaten this meal everyday for ~6 months.

Actually I might make a /fit/ infographic on this next week.

>>40214962
pyrex makes tupperware, you have you really go out of your way to break that shit

>>40215122
how are they compared to glass lock? They're made in america so that's a plus, but I like glass locks glass lids.

I bought 3 sets of these.

https://www.amazon.com/Container-Leakproof-Microwave-Dishwasher-Rectangle/dp/B0175EUOL8

No leaking no breaking no weird stains or odors and dishwasher safe.

>>40215108
Do you ever change some stuff? I don't think it' ll hurt getting some different micros from time to time does it?

And these split containers

>eating out of plastic
have fun with your high est

>>40218119
because chemicals might have non-beneficial attributes that may seep into the food, especially during reheating.

you do you but I am paranoid and don't want to be turned into a soft baby faggot by my food container.

They replace bpa with something else that is equally shit if not worse. I forget the name of it.

>Isn't everything required by law to be bpa free?
yeah probably since everyone got spooked by it, but I am even more spooked and don't know how to make plastic so they might have added something different that's still bad.

If I have a homemade lunch box then I know exactly whats in it.

every time i freeze my chicken and rice the rice literally stays rock hard even after i defrost is

>>40218329
>freezing food

why, just cook it then refridgerize and reheat it when tomorrow happens.

>>40218438
Forgot to say that my recipe is for spicy turkey chili in case it wasn't obvious

I add a shit ton of red pepper flakes and about 5 Thai chilis or jalapenos

>>40218191
you'd need to heat the plastic to almost melt for some shit get in the food

>>40212704
I use fitpacker (check on amazn)
They can run a little small if I'm on a bulk
>ymmv

>>40219337
I use those, pretty happy with them. They are a bit small at times but they are cheap and reusable.

>>40212704
I live next to some korean market and they have glass/pyrex containers with fitting lids for super cheap. Like $2 for a regular sized bowl. I use those because I'm not fond of the idea of eating plastic shit.

>>40212704
I buy the dollar store ones and reheat on a plate at work.

>>40220216
this minus the Korean market place just fork out a few more bucks for the legit make America great again shit

>>40215114
Please do!
