That’ll be a win when you’ve got home late or are just fresh out of inspiration. All you need to do is pop a meal you made earlier (like a pro TV chef) in the microwave to defrost, then reheat it, and you’ll have a piping hot dinner for four in a matter of minutes.
The first thing to do is make sure you’ve got good-quality, freezer-safe containers and bags. They’re worth the investment because they’ll protect your food from freezer burn and make sure it stays tasty to the last bite. Don’t forget to label everything for easy rotation. When you’ve picked your next meal, thaw it in the fridge overnight or defrost it in the microwave just before you want to reheat it. No effort needed.
Stocking up on essentials for easy freezer recipes is another vital step. Our recipes include versatile proteins like chicken, beef, and fish plus tons of healthy veg like carrots, peas, and bell peppers. Pile up the pantry with staples such as rice, pasta, and canned tomatoes.

To keep your frozen meals in tip-top shape, make sure your dishes are completely cooled before freezing – this will prevent ice crystals from forming. For soups and stews, leave a bit of space at the top of the container. This gives room for expansion, so you won’t end up with a saucy mess to clean up. Briefly blanch raw ingredients like fruit and veg in boiling water before freezing to keep its original texture and colour.
You’ve cooked up tasty teas for the week, now you need to make sure you’ve got the right containers to keep it all fresh. Airtight tubs or freezer bags are a must to prevent freezer burn, moisture, and flavour transfer. BPA-free plastic or glass are food-safe and durable – perfect for popping your meals into individual or family-sized portions for easy reheating and serving.
Prepping meals in advance can transform your routine. Plan your batch cooking day in advance, so you know you’ll have plenty of time to get everything cooked, portioned out, and frozen, ready for the week ahead. Cook larger batches of your favourites, freezing any leftovers for another day. That way, you’ll always have a quick, homemade meal ready when you need it. Label everything up with the dish name and freezing date to keep your soon-to-be extensive inventory organised.
By following these handy hints, you can keep surprising your family with easy freezer recipes at the drop of a hat. Have a quick look at our range of appliances to see how you can take batch cooking to the next level.
