    I have been foodprepping for years now, and I would add a foodscale to the list: it makes all the work much faster! :)

      what do you use a food scale for when meal prepping

    • @saowsan
      @saowsan 5 лет назад +5

      It depends on how experienced with cooking you are ^_^
      If you are new to cooking and you follow a recipe, having a scale makes it so much faster to just weigh everything (for instance if you know how much a cup of flour/sugar etc. weighs, and you need 4 cups, it's just some fast simple math and dumping everything into the same bowl. The result is faster cooking and less cleaning.
      If you don't follow a recipe, and freestyle more, which I mostly do, using a scale is nice to have an idea of the proportions between the different ingredients you put in. It sounds like a useless step, but trust me, if you end up loving the new dish you have created, you will hate yourself for not including this step. Because if the dish turns out amazing you will be ready to write down the recipe quickly, and use it over and over again (with the scale ;) ) in the future ^_^
      Standard I always, always have a food scale, cutting board and a good knife and a composting/garbbage bowl next to it. whenever I food prep. The rest of the things depends on what I am making :)

    I have regular balsamic and reduced balsamic for when I don't want to go too acidic. A balsamic glaze is great on salmon! Also I always have chicken stock, coconut milk and red curry paste. You can turn any protein and veggie into a nice quick meal with those.

    Something I noticed, but Chef didn't mention... All 4 of her pots/pans are stove top AND oven safe. Growing up, my parents always had plastic handles on their cookware. As an adult who grew up eating boxed and take out meals, I started cooking/eating "real" food which a lot of times has you start on the stove top (browning ground beef, for example) then finishing in the oven. Chef's cookware handles both. Another thing I always have at least 2 of is glass casserole dishes - 1 big, 1 small. That's just my personal preference. 👩🏽‍🍳🔪🍳😷

    We’ve had wooden spoons and spatulas and cutting boards, but I only learned recently that you should really be waxing them regularly. Learned the hard way that the wood quality goes down (rough, cracking, etc) if you don’t think about it for a couple of years.
    Also who needs tongs when you’ve got a good pair of chopsticks?
