Batch Cooking & Meal Prep

Scale recipes for weekly meal prep and batch cooking

Why Scale Up?

Batch cooking saves time and money. Cook once on Sunday, eat well all week. Scaling recipes to ×3 or ×4 lets you prepare multiple meals in one cooking session.

One batch cooking session can provide meals for the entire week

Common Multipliers

×2 for 4-5 meals, ×3 for a week of lunches, ×4 for family-sized batches that freeze well.

Choose your multiplier based on how many meals you need

Storage Considerations

Divide scaled recipes into individual portions before storing. Label containers with the date and reheating instructions. Most batch-cooked meals last 4-5 days refrigerated or 2-3 months frozen.

Pro Tips

Cook grains and proteins in larger batches (×4-×5). Keep sauces separate until serving. Some dishes taste better after a day—perfect for meal prep!
