Batch cooking guides

  • Batch cooking: cook once, eat all month

    What batch cooking is, whether it’s worth it and how to do your first cook day.

  • How to plan a cook day

    Three dishes that share a shop, a timed plan for one Sunday afternoon and 24 portions in the freezer by teatime.

  • What you need to start batch cooking

    Containers you already have, or freezer bags and foil trays from one cheap shop.

  • What size pan you need for batch cooking

    At least 5 litres for 8 portions of bolognese or chilli, how to tell what yours holds, and what to do if it’s smaller.

  • Freeze sauce and soup flat, and fit more dinners in the freezer

    Sauce and soup in bags laid flat, pies in foil trays and single portions in small containers.

  • Freezing, defrosting and reheating safely

    The FSA and NHS rules for cooling, freezing, defrosting and reheating, in cook-day order, each linked to its source.

  • Upgrade your freezer kit once cook days stick

    Silicone moulds, bigger dishes, reusable containers and printed labels, for once you’ve done a cook day or two.

  • Use the whole bag

    Five foods UK homes bin the most, each split into recipes you can cook in the same session, with the extra minutes each one takes.

  • Freezer dinners for a busy family

    Weeknight dinners already made, sized for your family, with at most the pasta or rice to cook on the night.

  • Batch cooking before the baby arrives

    What to cook, how much to make and how to label it so anyone who comes round can find dinner.

  • Batch cooking for someone you care for

    One cook day for two homes: smaller portions, familiar dishes and labels that are easy to read.

Use the whole bag: waste-saving tips

  • Use the whole bag of potatoes

    Roast potatoes, mash for the freezer and crisps from the peelings, all from one 2kg bag.

  • Use the whole loaf

    Breadcrumbs for the freezer and croutons for soup, from the ends of the loaf.

  • Use the whole head of broccoli

    Florets for tonight’s side, half the stalk into a soup for the freezer and half into sticks for dips.

  • Use the whole bunch of bananas

    Banana bread and banana oat bites, baked side by side in the same oven.

  • Use the whole bag of carrots

    Honey roast carrots, a soup for the freezer and the peelings saved for stock.

Christmas

  • A make-ahead vegetarian Christmas

    Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, cooked ahead and frozen.
