Believe us: Cooking at home can be a joy, and not a total chore, especially if you don’t have to do it three times a day. Plus, it’s way better for weight loss than ordering in — not because you’re really craving a certain dish, but because you can’t stand to think of something new to put together.
That’s where meal prep comes in, because you can cook once and have several healthy meals ready to go. You can do it for every meal, from banana bread overnight oats in the morning to Cobb salad for lunch to chicken pozole for dinner. Plus, you’ll save money while not having to think about portion sizes because it’s already dished up. (New to preppin’? Check out our beginner’s guide and tips.)
Meal prepping has never been easier with Pyrex Freshlock 14-piece Glass Storage Set. These BPA-free glass containers come in a variety of sizes, and feature tight-locking, leakproof lids and are safe for the dishwasher, microwave, and freezer (our only gripe: not the oven).
Swear by your mismatched stack of stained, lidless plastic containers? Treat yourself to the upgrade. These glass vessels won’t impart a weird old flavor or let in air that can spoil the food sooner. Plus, old containers may not seal correctly, meaning your well-intentioned, on-the-go chili lunch could become more like leaked-in-your-tote-bag chili disaster. Glass containers like Pyrex are also safer than plastic for reheating in the microwave and for storing hot meals that go in very hot, since heat can break down the plastic.
“Not only did they pass our drop test without shattering or splattering liquid-y foods, the lids also have a spot to label with a dry erase marker so you won’t have a freezer mystery on your hands in a few weeks,” says our head of food and recipes Sherry Rujikarn.
