25 Best Freezer Meal Supplies
Like an extra pair of hands in the kitchen, these hold your ziploc bags so that you have both hands free to fill them easily. Gallon bags are one of the best (and space-saving) ways to freeze meals without taking up too much freezer space. If you'd like an eco-friendly alternative, try these resusable bags for your freezer meals. Perfect for making family-size meals. Plus super easy cleanup! These have a great airtight seal which is perfect for freezing. Plus you can take them from freezer to oven if you don't have time to defrost. If you want to make individual frozen dinners, try these 3 compartment glass containers. Heavy duty aluminum foil is a must when protecting your food from freezer burn. Many easy freezer meals are 'dump dinners' that you can put in the slow cooker and let it cook your meal for you! A programmable pressure cooker is so handy to have when it comes time to cook your freezer meals. This one is also a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, and yogurt maker! I absolutely love using my Foodsaver to preserve food in the freezer for up to 3 years! There's no freezer burn whatsoever. You can use Foodsaver rolls to make your own bags in any size you choose, or you can use these precut bags to make it super easy. These bags are quart size, and they also come in gallon size. If you're serious about freezer cooking, consider investing in a spare freezer. You can store so much more than in your refrigerator freezer. I absolutely love my chest freezer! A food processor can make quick work of shredding cheese and chopping vegetables. These labels will help you keep track of the contents, cooking instructions, and use-by date of your freezer meals. These mason jars are perfect for freezing tomato sauce, stock, or soup. These adorable 'bear claws' help you easily shred chicken for adding to many popular freezer meals. Sharp knives are integral to all kitchen prep. Dull knives are unsafe and make everything take longer. A big skillet makes cooking several pounds of meat at a time much easier. This 14 inch skillet is hard-anodized, which is my absolute favorite surface. A canning funnel is especially useful when pouring sauces and stocks into jars. You'll need big cookie sheets to lay your gallon bags flat to freeze. That way you can put them in your freezer like files, and they take up less space. Cookie sheets are also ideal for freezing fruits and veggies, so that they freeze individually and don't stick together in a big lump. (Let them freeze on the cookie sheet, and then put in a freezer bag once frozen.) These mixing bowls are perfect for mixing up big batches of ingredients for casseroles, etc. This set comes with pretty airtight lids too! These cutting boards are color-coded so you can avoid mixing food flavors. They'll remind you not to mix raw proteins with veggies. They're also flexible so you can easily bend them and pour ingredients into your different containers. This Taste of Home Cookbook has almost 300 easy freezer meal ideas! This adorable weekly meal planning board is just too cute! It will help you plan out what freezer meals you're going to eat each week. Colorful sharpies allow you to label and color-code your freezer meals.
