Common Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about meal preparation, food safety, and getting started with meal prep.
Most people can prepare meals for three to five days in 2–3 hours, depending on complexity and cooking method. This typically includes planning, shopping, preparation, cooking, cooling, and portioning. With practice and proper organization, many people reduce this time significantly. Start by planning simpler meals with fewer components if you're new to meal prepping.
Glass containers with secure lids are ideal because they are durable, don't retain odors, microwave-safe, and last for years. BPA-free plastic containers are also suitable but may stain or hold odors over time. Choose containers with tight-fitting lids to maintain freshness. Flat, rectangular containers maximize refrigerator space and stack neatly. Separate compartments help keep ingredients from mixing and prevent sogginess in items like salads.
Store cooked grains in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow them to cool completely before sealing to prevent condensation. Cooked proteins like chicken and fish also last 3–4 days refrigerated. Place them in the coldest part of your fridge, typically the back of the bottom shelf. For longer storage, freeze portions in airtight containers for up to three months. Label everything with the date prepared to track freshness easily.
Absolutely! Our courses emphasize minimal-equipment cooking. You'll learn techniques that work with just a knife, cutting board, basic pots, and pans. We focus on ingredient quality and technique over gadgets.
