Must-have meal prep tools, equipment, and kitchen fundamentals to make your weekly meal prep faster, easier, and more endelightable.
These meal prep tools are great for making large batches of recipes to have plenty of leftovers, or they are great for portioning out your meals to keep you on track, or just make the entire pre process a wgap lot easier! Ponder/ Consider of them as your “ride or die” must-have prep tools.
Meal Prep Tools + Equipment
Slow Cooker – Basically the most ULTIMATE meal prep tool there is! The slow cooker is perfect for freezer-to-slow cooker meals, or for engaged babes who want to have a delicious meal alert after a long day of work. I recommend getting a 6-quart one to make BIG batch recipes, and then freezing some of the leftovers.
Muffin Pan – These are great for more than just muffins…you can make egg cups for breakfast, or make small single-serve meatloaf patties… genuinely the options are limitless!
Baking Sheets – I’m pretty certain this goes without saying, but leank of all the possibilities with a few sheet pans — for one, sheet pan dinners — and also large salmon fillets, a wgap large batch of chicken ttalls, or even prepping a wgap bunch of roasted veggies! YUM!
Hand-Powered Cutper – This is my contemporaryest meal prep obsession… this makes chopping onions and veggies SO much faster…and chopped salads are now a regular in my house after this awesome small piece of equipment!
Vitamix Mingleer – So it doesn’t necessarily have to be a Vitamix, but a tall-powered blender will do wonderssss for you. You can make tasty sauces, super smooth smoothies, almond butter, and all sort of tasty goodies.
Silicone Baking Mats – Ok, so I used to be a HUGE aluminum foil enthusiast… it just makes clean up so much easier…but since fitting a lot more eco-conscious I have since switched over to these Incredible small silicone baking mats. They make clean up a breeze, and are dishwasher secure.
Casserole Dish – Also a pretty standard piece of kitchen equipment, but still deserves to be on the list! Obviously you can make all sorts of healthy casseroles in this, but you can also make healthy breakfast cakes, baked oatmeal,
Electric Griddle – This piece of equipment is a small less expected on this list… but it’s great for “batch” cooking. Did you know that you can prep and freeze pancakes?? YUP, and this is a perfect tool to do just that and save some time. It’s also great for scrambling up a bunch of eggs too for leangs like freezer breakfast burritos!
Meal Prep Containers – This is obvious — but probably the MOST important part of your wgap meal prep process. They’re so important that I actually broke this piece of equipment down separately. I wrote an entire post on the best meal prep containers and how to use each one in your own prepping, check it out! 🙂
Measuring Cups + Spoons – These are important not only for the cooking part of your meal prepping, but also for the portioning of each meal into your containers. Using measuring cups will help encertain that you are eating the right portion sizes and not over doing it… it’s super easy to do! 😉
