These ideas would be excellent for me and others who are older and have arthritis. Some days I feel great and have a ton of energy and others not so much. Thanks
I love cooking but I’m now disabled from a back injury so I do cook as much as I can when I can but sometimes that’s one day a week so things is perfect for me xx Give my husband a break! Xx
UFOs.. unidentified frozen objects...lmao. my freezer is full of em. Great tips thanks
This is incredible. You make me feel like I could actually get my meal plan organized! Love it
This could really help me out as a single working mum to 3, 2 with special needs time comes at a premium in our home and budget is tight thank you
Done this and everything very tasty.
Took a little over an hour but still very quick and worth every minute spent!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for your instructions. It's now January 2023 and I was wondering if you could do this all again with present prices please. I did all this when we were students with half a pound of mince and made it into Lasagne, Chilli con Carne, Spaghetti Bolognaise and Shepherd's Pie. Made the mince go further by packing it out with vegetables. Another quick meal was a pork leg steak (small) grilled with one round of tinned pineapple (saved the other two rings for dessert the next day) and a large tin of sweetcorn. Beans on Toast, Grilled Tomato sandwiches, omelettes, cereal for breakfast or toast and honey.
Just saw this segment on This Morning UK so wanted to see her prep these in detail. Love these ideas!
I just found you and Subscribed! LOL I hardly know you and we've already been through so much! I'm going to watch all of your videos that I have missed. I see (on the side) 10 Family Fish meals in 1 Hr. Can I tell you I have just recently been looking for Fish Freezer Meals? I think Batch Freezing by Proteins is brilliant. If you think about it -you can take 100 pieces of chicken season each one differently, wrap it in foil and you are good to go for lunches, dinners, salads...Grill it, Broil or Bake several for the week and surprise yourself with creative meals. Sounds perfect. Or Do 10 Fish, Beef or Pork and really switch it up. Thank you, for saving the world from Fast Food health problems! So many people don't even know where food comes from.
UFOs....😂 love it !!!
Thanks for another great video!😀 This will be my next mission! Hopefully i’ll try it in the next few days. Love the little tips on helping to be organised like the laying the ingredients out in order. You’ve inspired me to look over my recipe folder and see if I have similar stuff I could batch cook together. So glad I stumbled on you! Thanks again! x
Thank Laila for a great comment, and thanks for watching
Thank you for creating. I’d really appreciate watching you live do the whole thing. I did the 10 beef meals last week and did it on about 2 hours. This one took me over 4 hours. Chopping the chicken took about 30 mins… 😞
I've never heard of Bride's Chicken before but I'm going to try it now, looks yummy 😊
My mum used to make brides chicken when I was a kid. Absolutely love it but never knew that's what it was called. Haven't had it in sooo long, I'll have to get some condensed soup! 😊
Excited to do this today snd get our meal times organised, thanks x ( I got the book too).
Organisation was essential for me,getting the list was fantastic.
OMG ...... you are amazing I’m so glad I found you on u tube I have just told all my family and friends to go on your u the Chanel and check you out x

ive subbed by the way
thank u for making these vids
makes life so much more easier
Just found your channel and love it 😁 thanks and will try some of these out 👍 well done!
Thank you. Learnt a lot.
Just found you on you tube will try these
I love this, but so hard when you can’t have many foods, like onion and garlic. I might do some of this for my husband and son. They would like something new and different. Thank you for what you do.
ah i do use onion and garlic for lots of the meals, but if you have any recplacements that you often use instead of onion and garlic them im sure they would work ok
I love the theory of one hour prep. I have only just found you and I have subscribed so hope everything you said is in typed up form as I could only catch every 2nd or 3rd word. I have trouble with fast talkers here in Oz, but I have an even harder time with your beautiful English accent. I’m sure my prep will take much more than 1 hour the first time but I am going to give it a go! Also wondering if you have alternative suggestions for the tinned soups as most tin soups have gluten ingredients. I have celiac disease and if I eat gluten food I am violently I’ll 3 hours after eating and am in bed for several hours.
She's scottish. Not English.
I don't know if you could eat corn starch or arrowroot or whatever other thickener you would use to make a gravy. But I think "cream of" soups are basically different types of milk gravy. I imagine you've already figured out the solution for yourself, but I thought someone like me might be reading that message and wonder.
So I would recommend that however you can safely make gravy, make yourself some tasty gravy using your choice of tasty broth and/or milk, safe thickener, and appropriate additions such as mushrooms, onions, spices, sauces, etc.
I don't know how well milk freezes, so I would recommend trying it first on only on one meal to freeze.
Once you find a gravy base that you enjoy and that freezes well, you can make it, and freeze up a bunch of meals at once. Best wishes and good luck!
This is great, thank you 😊 Have you ever tried shredding the chicken using an electric whisker? It's super quick 🤩
oh thank you! great tip x
hi i love this
its to the point and well explained
ive been looking to do batch cooking and ur vids will help me out alot
just a question where do u buy the bags from?
Really like those measuring spoons (?) Do you know how I can get some? Thanks for all your inspiration 😁
Figured that out thanks 👍😁
I'm going to have to buy a bigger freezer!
Great video! Very helpful!!! :D
Excellent, I like your attention to hygiene too 😊
thankyou, I used to edit out all the clesning up and washing hands, but people assumed I just didnt do it, so I now like to mention it in the video.... well observed
Daft question but what pen do you use to write on your plastic bags. I have too many UFO in my freezer where labels have fallen off and writing smudged. I Love batch cooking
I used to use a china marker. DON'T DO THAT! It flakes off. Now we use Sharpies, a permanent marker that works on most surfaces.
Personally, I like to put a small scrap of paper on the inside of some bags, with important info written on it. I can read it through the plastic bag.
Love your channel - I'm going to batch cook the hunter's chicken recipe this month and a few others to give them a go. Excited for this, especially great for busy mums :) xx
Wow your amazing this is gonna be the new me deffo 🥰🥰
He is
Fabulous! Going to give this a go!... Ps have you tried putting the sauce and cheese on the hunter's chicken instead of freezing separately? Thought I would try.
Let me know how you get on, as would be interested in whether the hunters chicken will go xx
If you were feeding a family or 4 adults and 2 teenagers what size foil containers would you recommend. Mine would eat 1.5 of your 2 meals in 1 serving
Are you able to put a costing for the ten chicken meals for us all please i would be much appreciated. Thankyou
what kind of pots pans do you use .as mine always loose the non stick feature and may not be big enough?
thank you
Hi love your batch meals what contaimer did you put the curry in please and where to purchase tia😊
Hi, if you head to my website at this link thebatchlady.com/buy/ you'll see all the products I use, available through my website link to Amazon, or find similar in your local shops. Happy batching!
May I ask please. Where you get your freezer bags from please?
All my freezer bags are in the shop on the webiste- www.thebatchlady.com
do you defrost first or can you cook from frozen?
Each recipe should be defrosted before cooking, all cooking instructions are at the bottom of this- thebatchlady.com/recipe/10-meals-in-1-hour-chicken/
hi from scotland
where did u get your colour spoons is there a link ?
Yes! Here is the link to the measuring spoons- they are amazing! amzn.eu/d/2thlUTO
@@TheBatchLady thank you 😊
but plz do let me know where u bought the bags which u used in this vid from
They are from ikea
Of course, it actually takes more than an hour because you already had everything set up and in order. But not bad for less than 2 hours of work.
yes, the actual hands on time is 1 hour but will take longer to set up the kitchen and clean it ready for cooking
Are your cooking times from frozen or defrost? 😊
Did you ever find out? 🤔
I’d like to know this too
Would also like to know this.
If I use frozen meat thawed, am I ok shaping meatballs and freezing half?
only if the meat is cooked
How long will these last in the freezer please?
These will last 3-4 months in the freezer. Hope that helps
I am so scared of cooking frozen chicken, u may not see this but if anyone does can they tell me if you just put the raw chicken in the oven straight from the freezer? I thought it had to be defrosted
Hi Bex, make sure your chicken is defrosted before cooking it. All the recipes for this 10 meals in 1 hour are on my website each with cooking instructions so it will tell you clearly how to cook them. I hope this helps- thebatchlady.com/recipe/10-meals-in-1-hour-chicken/
Shred that cooked chicken in your mixer! Much faster and no hands!!!
Thanks for the tip!
I don’t think it’s healthy to use Aluminum foil for freezer storage
Nice idea to have meals in the freezer. But I think with hunters chicken you could just save time and buy hunters chicken and put it in the freezer. And I'd rather just buy a ready meal curry if I was going to use a shop bought jar of sauce. I prefer recipes that contain actual ingredients rather than jars of sauces and cans of soup. Otherwise its no better than a ready meal.
So, what's your point?
This concept is all about saving time, while creating home cooked meals rather than eating ready meals full of E numbers etc. I generally never use Jars of sauce instead opt for Small jars of concentrated pastes which are great for adding flavour. Cans of soup are fab for making healthy sauces, compared to ready meal sauces. If its not your thing no worries, 70,000 people so far love the concept, why not give it a try, its cheaper than ready meals too
There's no reason why you can't apply the same method with homemade sauces. I think its more about time saving during the week whilst working all day. Granted woukd take longer prep, but still worth it.
I'd wash those empty cans
great preps, but why don't you keep your meals in washable boxes instead of so much plastic bags that will end up in garbage?
Hi Orange 386, Thanks for getting in touch. So glad you like the idea of prep. I'm very conscious of the plastic used too but these bags are washable, and can be reused over and over, many people think they are single use. If you have room in a large freezer then I recommend freezing in glass pyrex dishes with removable lid, but if you have a small freezer as many people do then this allows you to save space. I also promote using silicone reusable bags as an alternative to plastic but they are still rather expensive for the majority of people to use all the time. I desperately hope someone comes out soon with a cheaper silicone bag. Ive made lots of video promoting cleaning bags and silicone bags etc, but will do another one on recycling your old bags, as I think its important that people see that they don't need to be single use. Thanks for watching, hope this helps alleviate your concerns. Happy batching x
@@TheBatchLady What bags are these, I've not seen ones like this, only the thinner ones from the supermarket. I'm thinking of asking people for some silicone bags as birthday presents, because apparently that's who I am now... The ones I've seen are all really small, though, cool for freezing leftover bananas or whatever, not much good for this kind of purpose!
Ah! Found the video that explains this!
Hunters chicken prep was totally pointless! It takes 2 secs to wrap it! And all that bloody plastic for the bags (I bet, non-recyclable, too)
I love this lady she is fantastic but please tie your hair back 😕
sandra tapp she’s cooking food for her own family in her own kitchen. I don’t tie my hair back every time I cook for my family, so I think it’s fine if she has her hair down.
Hi Sandra, I sometimes do and should do it more but these videos are done as im cooking for my kids so often rather rushed. If I have guests definetly tie it back, will try to do more.
@@readythreadysew6616 Thanks you Raedy Thready Sew, thats exactly what im doing xxxxx
I like the premise but you dont wash ANY of the chicken. Straight from the packet is gross!!!
Hi Candice, Glad you like the premise. Please be aware that the health and safety food hygiene standards nowadays all state that ' Washing raw chicken before cooking it can increase your risk of food poisoning from campylobacter bacteria. Splashing water from washing chicken under a tap can spread the bacteria onto hands, work surfaces, clothing, and cooking equipment'. So I'm afraid I cannot advocate washing chicken in a home kitchen environment. I think this only changed a few years ago and not all are aware of it. But rest assured the chicken has been washed before being packaged in a safe environment.
candice mcleod you dont wash chicken anymore
No don't wash chicken !! It's really bad for you . I got campylobacter a few years ago and was told it was because either didn't wash hands or washed the chicken . I was violently ill for 2 weeks 🤢 it was awful . I always wash hands surfaces etc but never wash the chicken itself . I also wash all utensils by hand then put in dishwasher. I'm paranoid about getting that ill again .
Love this but wash your chicken
Thank you for your comment but in the UK health and safety rules that you should never wash chicken in the home environment. It has been washed in a sterile environment in the packaging plant. I completely understand your comment but as a uk resident cannot advocate washing chicken at home.
The Batch Lady oh that’s sounds fair I’m from the USA so we probably should wash all of our chicken because you never know lol
Oksana Knighton - In the USA, the FDA recommends not washing our chickens.
