Meal prep
Cook once, eat all week. Here's the kitchen kit that makes batch cooking easy, and how MagicMeals takes care of the recipes, the shopping and the counting.
Weigh ingredients in grams for repeatable batches, and weigh portions so your food diary matches what you eat. Look for one with a tare button and 1 g steps.
Freeze soups, sauces and meals in exact cup-sized blocks you can pop out one at a time, so a portion in the freezer is a portion in your diary.
For the fridge and for packed lunches. Glass reheats well and doesn't stain.
Write the recipe name, the date and the portion size on everything that goes into the freezer.
Reheat a frozen portion straight in the oven, or bake individual servings.
Check that reheated food is hot all the way through, and that big batches have cooled before they go in the freezer.
A large stockpot or Dutch oven for soups and chili, and two sheet pans for roasting a week of vegetables and protein at once. The ones you already own are fine.
Souper Cubes trays freeze soups, sauces and meals in 2-cup, 1-cup, half-cup and 2-tablespoon blocks. Set your recipe's serving size to match and every cube logs as one serving.

A big pot or sheet pans you already own, a kitchen scale, containers or portion freezer trays, and something to label with. Everything else is a nice to have.
It saves recipes from any link, scales servings, shows ingredients in grams, puts several recipes on one shopping list, and logs each portion in a food diary with calories and macros. On the paid plan, Plan my week fills your week from your cookbook and builds the shopping list from it.
Add the Freezer-Friendly tag to recipes that freeze well. It's one of the suggested tags, and recipes saved from a link are tagged when the AI spots that a dish freezes well. Tap the tag on your Recipes tab to see them all.
