    I’m glad that I have become more resistant to the temptation of eating out when I feel stressed and tired. For me, preparing some smoothie mixes, rice, or overnight oats has been a life saver. My wallet and I are truly grateful

    I tried this a couple of weeks ago, and it paid off big yesterday. After a half day of running around, I returned home hungry. Threw the chicken, some cooked brown rice and frozen spinach into a bowl, topped it with grated cheddar, then into the microwave. I had a meal in about 10 minutes. Not fancy but tasty--and definitely better than stopping at a fast-food place. This practice is a total winner. Thank you!

    Been doing something similar to this for ages with chicken thighs. I marinate them chipotle style and use them for burrito bowls, tacos, salads, etc. I like the thighs over breasts for obvious reasons. Either way it's a killer concept that makes easy, tasty, and healthy meals. Slow cooked pork shoulder is another one I keep in portions in the freezer for similar uses 👍 thanks for the vids and tips as always Josh ✌️

    I've been doing something similar for a while now, but I use the sousvide with whole breasts and i break them up after cooking. Makes prep even simpler (longer overall, but less actual handling). I use incredibly basic seasonings (S&P, vinegar for the breakdown, and MSG), it's bland to snack on but can go with anything without introducing its own flavors.

All she wants to eat is carbs and fruit(and steak, but do you know how expensive steak is?), which at her age and activity level isn’t the worst thing in the world but still. We’re building healthy eating habits here. I work 10 hr shifts so often she’ll eat before I get off work cause she’s hungry. I can definitely have this ready in the freezer for her to throw on some rice with soy sauce and pickled onions.

    • @Kellegram
      @Kellegram Год назад +1

      I used to freeze chicken all the time and did not have a vacuum sealer, can't say it ever tasted off. Are you sure you cooked it fully, froze it properly and didn't keep it there too long? Maybe you let it omega freezer burn? Without vacuum sealing, you have to eat it before it freezer burns real bad.

    • @bobnewkirk7003
      @bobnewkirk7003 Год назад +1

      I'm not entirely sure what the bad taste you are talking about is specifically, but Freezer Burn is the result of the cold dry air in the freezer drying out the food. Taking steps to make anything in your freezer air-tight should help with the evaporation going on in the freezer and keep your food tasting normal longer. The vacu-seal bags are probably the best option, but even using zip top bags or containers with tight lids will help a lot, especially if you can get most of the air out.

    • @pubcollize
      @pubcollize Год назад +1

      What they said -^ but also - aim for a slow-defrost in the fridge instead of microwave. I keep a tupperware with chicken similar to what was shown here in the fridge and when it's finished I pull more out from the freezer - within 24H they taste "fresh out of the fridge" with none of the issues a forced-defrost carries with it.

    • @rainerzufall9943
      @rainerzufall9943 Год назад

      Okay, maybe I should let it defrost in the fridge first and set the microwave to max. 50% as mentioned in the video so it doesn't heat up too fast. I read that heating too fast can change the flavor of the chicken.

    • @bobnewkirk7003
      @bobnewkirk7003 Год назад

      ​@@rainerzufall9943 yep, you only want to cook it to an internal temperature of 165f. if you push it up higher than that it gets rubbery and dry. often when you heat it up too fast the surface gets way to hot before the inside is up to temp.
      There are two schools of thought to resolve this: 1st is low and slow to not overcook the outside, second is cut the pieces smaller so the heat doesn't need to penetrate as deep. at 0:50 he shows a decent middle-ground in piece size if your chopping, but if you want to cook a whole piece you might be better off flattening the piece to a uniform thickness for even cooking prior to freezing; 2cm or 3/4 inch is what I do that way I can cook it straight from frozen in a pan.

    Disagree, the worst, most time-consuming part of cooking is peeling and chopping all the vegetables. Like a pound of onions and 2 lbs of potatoes for a stew, or all the onions, garlic, ginger,peppers and root vegetables for a stir fry. The rest of the cooking process is simple: put stuff in a pan, wait, stir occasionally.
