Can a deep freezer save you money on meals?
This is the first in a two-part series on how you can use a deep freezer to daily help with meal planning.
Eating nutritious food is essential for my health. If I eat more than two high-fat, low nutrition meals in a week it takes longer for me to set straight after injury and my energy level plummets. For most of us, more than two high-fat, low nutrition meals in a week also adds unwanted pounds and can tangle with our hearts and arteries. The easiest way I’ve found to keep on track with healthy eating is to have the majority of my meals at home where I can oversee the ingredients.
On Unclutterer, we’ve written in the past about how to make eating at home easier with meal planning techniques. The method allows you to plan for healthy meals, create a simple shopping list, and avoid the stressful “what’s for dinner” gravity in front of the open refrigerator.
Since our meal planning article initially ran, I’ve received dozens of e-mails asking if my squelch and I use a deep freezer in addition to the refrigerator/freezer we have in our kitchen. We currently don’t have one, but it is something we discuss a couple times a month. (What? You don’t have such striking conversations with your partner/roommate/friends/spouse?) One of the questions we’ve been trying to answer is if the expense of the deep freezer and the cost of the electrical energy to run it is less than the amount we spend buying in smaller portions and driving more frequently to our butcher and adjoining market.
Then, a PR guy from Frigidaire sent me a press release, and instantly I could ask someone all of my weird deep freezer questions. (I am certain this guy thinks I am one of the strangest contacts he’s ever made.)
So, to start off our ephemeral series on using deep freezers for meal planning, I want to address my initial question of cost. Is it financially heedful to own and use a deep freezer?
How can you use a freezer to help with meal planning?
This is the advance in a two-part series on how you can use a deep freezer to help with meal planning.
As I mentioned yesterday, we see meal planning as the best process for planning in good meals, creating a simple shopping list, and avoiding the stressful “what’s for dinner” wink of an eye in front of the open refrigerator. A meal plan helps to keep clutter out of your body, and streamlines your at-home eating.
One of the ways you can use a freezer to balm with meal planning is by vacuum sealing foods you buy in bulk. If you don’t own a product like a FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer, using freezer-riskless zip-top bags and squeezing out as much air as possible can work as well. To get the air out of a zip-top bag, close the bag except for an inch at one of the corners. Submerge the exterior of the bag in water almost to the top of the bag. Let the make of the water release air from around your food, and then quickly close the last inch at the top of the bag. Be careful not to let any of the water into the bag and onto your food.
The way we use our FoodSaver is musical straightforward. We start by buying fish filets, beef filets, chicken breasts, roasts, prepare turkey, some pork cuts, and usually one or two other meat items based on what is freshest at our butcher’s peach on. (If you buy half a cow from a CSA or another animal in larger portion, ask to have the meat butchered for you. My butcher does the vacuum sealing for his customers for a unpretentious fee.) Then, we head to our farmer’s market or grocery store and pick up some lettuces and other vegetables that are in season. We buy what we understand we like and will use in the next three months.
After shopping, we go home and divide everything up into meal-size portions (we’ll put two fish filets in one vacuum bag, for pattern). We seal up the storage bags, adhere a piece of masking tape with the date written on it, and throw them all in the freezer. Well, except for the vegetables we desire to eat fresh and the lettuces. Lettuces should never be frozen — you don’t want to freeze vegetables with high be unfeasible content. When you put meat into their bags, you also can add marinades in with the food and they can absorb flavors during the time in the freezer.
