My Instant Pot is a batch cooking superstar. I can cook huge quantities of grains, beans, or even chicken in a fraction of the time. Also, a good food processor for chopping!

Excellent tips! I especially resonate with the pre-chopped veggies, FreshFork, it makes such a difference. What about using kitchen gadgets for batch cooking? Any favorites?

Don't be afraid of freezing! Soups, stews, chili, and even individual cooked chicken breasts can be frozen. It prevents waste and provides ready-made meals for later.

Prep all your produce at once! Wash, chop, and store veggies and fruits in airtight containers. This makes grabbing healthy snacks or adding them to meals incredibly quick.

Cooking a large batch of shredded chicken or ground turkey is a lifesaver. It can go into salads, wraps, pasta sauces, or stir-fries. Saves so much time on busy weeknights.

I always batch cook a huge amount of grains – quinoa, brown rice, or farro. They're super versatile and form the base of many meals throughout the week. Also, roast a big tray of mixed veggies!
