Cooking in bulk will allow you to store food portions for later, so you don’t have to cook everyday – and food will be ready for you when you need quick meals. This can be done by cooking at least double or more than the actual amount needed for that meal. 

Alternatively, if you do not want to cook complete meals in bulk; you can batch cook certain ingredients that take longer to cook, and store these in the freezer. You can mix them with other ingredients when needed for meals. 

Soups, casseroles, stews and curries are ideal for cooking in bulk, as these will store well in the freezer. 

What’s good to batch cook and use for leftovers? 

Soups, casseroles, stews and curries can all easily be made in bulk and stored in individual portion containers or larger family sized containers in either the fridge or freezer. 

Furthermore, most fruits and vegetables will freeze well. Just wash them and chop them into small pieces, ready to consume when desired ! 

Cooking in bulk is a great way to save on cooking time, as well as utilities such as gas, electricity, and water.
