Best containers for batch cooking


Recommended Posts

I used to use Lock & Lock, but recently have started buying the foil containers (like takeaway ones) from Farmers on Lordship Lane to use instead. I'm finding them much handier, as I buy a range of sizes, so can freeze in single portions, family size etc depending on what I'm making (I never seemed to have the right plastic container for the job when it came to family lasagnes etc). Best of all, no washing up :)

Agree with foil containers. When I was on mat leave with my first I did a load of cooking and froze in varying sized portions. Then whacked them straight in the oven once defrosted, made pie fillings etc and then just added mash top etc.

Hi Undiscovered, I found the Brother Max large weaning pots genius and are big enough for even preschooler portions. I bought a tonne of them and am in fact going to list them for sale (for cheap) on the forum this weekend so PM me if you're interested and I can drop them over as you're only round the corner!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
    • We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.
