Airtight containers FTW
Get rid of all your open packets. Invest in some containers – you can get fancy ones that stack, glass jars from all of the coffee your family drink (thanks Dad) or even cheap 10 for $2 Chinese food containers from the supermarket. Whatever it is, get your ingredients into airtight storage once you open the packets.
Keep veg fresh for longer
If you’ve stocked up on some lovely veg, you want to make sure you can use it all. Store veggies in the crisper section of your fridge stacked between layers of absorbent paper towel. Ive had market fresh zucchinis in the fridge like this for 5 weeks now and counting and they’re still perfectly fine.
Freeze veggies for soups, stocks and stews
Freeze veggies that are on the edge of turning soft and soggy (like carrots, onions, zucchini) in a big bag labelled ‘stock veg’. Once the bag is full, use it to make a pot full of beautiful veggie stock, which you can then freeze in containers to use later. Or make stock ice cubes with one of these huge ice cube trays.
