Pre-preparing foods

razg · 08-01-2006, 08:36 PM

I was just wondering what foods people pre-prepare. With me it's often a lack of convenience that leads to eating things I shouldn't.

I know that the following work well:

- rice
- sauces
- boiled eggs

I'm wondering about what other foods are easily prepared in advance. I was thinking pasta might be ok if not mixed with sauce.

i usually have a form of chilli with beef,loads of pulses and brown rice-kilo bag of meat gives me about 7 meals-bung it all in the freezer-just cook my rice each nite-no hassle at all

Sounds like a pretty good idea, I might make some.

ive just bought a slow cooker brilliant purchase. put a large chicken in on low in the mornig, 8 hours later the most moist chicken you will ever eat, the meat falls off the bones and all the fat stays in the bottom. im loving it.

I precook chicken and baked potatoes and eat them for 3 meals of the day by reheating them, porridge can't really be prepared in advance and thats about all I eat

Cook all chicken rice beef potatoe turkey veg or what ever you eat using a George Forman grill or bake stir fry what ever you do. Then place amounts for meals in tupper wear containers freeze and use when needed.

Also you can cook enough food for 3 or 4 days at a time and leave in fridge and use when needed.
