Top Techniques to improve meals that you'll have later

1. Moisturise your Meals

Not literally.

Unless your stomach feels a bit flaky & dry.

No, just kidding don’t do that.

What we mean is that your meals will lose some water content by staying in the fridge and when you’ll heat them back up.

So in order to make up for that, cover your Meal Prep meals in sauce, gravy, soup whatever - as long as it is some kind of high water content deliciousness to cover your meat or veggies.

2. Play with different textures

You don’t have to go full-on Ratatouille with the textures.

However, as much as you can, make your meals heterogenous to keep them interesting to bite into more than once.

Get that crispiness, add that creaminess, enjoy the softness, play with firmness, have some chewy pieces if you're into that. There’s also juicy, bouncy, crumbly and squishy.

The choice is there - take advantage of that.

3. It’s always the season to season your Meals

Always season your meals, but be careful.

Due to the evaporation of liquids and consolidation of fats, food a few days later will get slightly more salty so season just enough but just less than you normally would.

4. Think International

Go outside your comfort zone, keep your taste buds excited with different spices, flavours and different ways of cooking.

Meal Prep is a great way to incorporate various cuisines into your daily routine! On the The Meal Prep Market mobile app you can find all kinds of cuisines - see what you like!

5. Be cool with cool Meals

Food doesn’t need to be warm to taste good.

Sometimes you’ll ruin your meals by reheating them, sometimes it’s just better to enjoy them cool or closer to ambient temperature.

To get it more towards room temperature, just bring your meal out of the fridge an hour before enjoying it

6. Warm your meals differently. It’s better.

If you’re into warm meals, don’t just feel there’s just the microwave.

Use the oven to maintain that crispiness. Use your pan to add more flavour.

The microwave is good for meals like soups & stews - but not for all meals.

7. Cooking meat? Sous Vide may be the answer

Just don’t use your bath’s warm water. (Most) French won’t approve.

Sous vide cooking allows you to cook in batches and to keep meat juicy - remember the importance of moisture for meal prep? Sous-vide will keep your meat juicy.

8. Meal Prep should be healthy, but not dull

It’s good to focus on Macros, but food is not just fuel. Don’t make yourself miserable and put in the effort (or let an App like The Meal Prep Market take care of you ofc).

9. Make your Meal Balanced

Nutritionally, quantity, flavour, colours, texture etc. Keep your meal varied for maximum nutritional value.

In the end as all things: Don’t rush it. Enjoy it.
