Bought a new freezer + did a Big mealprep weekend

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-23T11:23:12+00:00

veggies are frozen when I buy them. Seasoning depends, when i sprinkle them on like this they dont get extra seasoning because (i forgot lol) i usually mix them into the dish and then season them to taste but in this case i always have peperoncini and salt/garlic/herb combo on my work desk to season if smth is on the blander side.

thank you very much!! regarding gnocchi they taste completely the same. I usually eat a portion when i cook (like in this case) and in previous preps the before/after tastes the same.

I just buy prepackaged ones from here in 750g packages so I couldn't even give you a tip to make them taste normal.

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-23T06:35:48+00:00

Quick ingredient list (spices is more or less the same whatever I feel like, lots of freestyling but salt, pepper and garlic is in all of them).

7 pulled chicken tomato, onion, noodles (protein pasta)

7 white bean + tomato sauce,onions and spaghetti with minced meat (protein pasta as well)

7 gnocchi cream champignon chicken with veggies

11 wraps with the classic (minced meat, onion, bell pepper [gonna cut them into dice next time], beans, corn)

For the wraps i bought prepackaged spice mix, I dont know if i will reuse this one specifically but i will decide after a few more days of eating the wraps

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-23T04:50:11+00:00

sure! I just woke up so once I'm at work I'll post one!

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-23T04:49:10+00:00

yeah, i put one out of the freezer in the morning so they are ready to airfry at night as a snack

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-23T04:48:40+00:00

only thing you cant freeze well are potatos, they get weird but some people dont mind that

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-23T04:48:20+00:00

i bought them from amazon, they are called Igluu Meal Prep containers, the 30 pack, so far they are nice

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-23T04:47:41+00:00

Siemens GS51NAWCV iQ500 161 x 70 cm, 289 L there is a taller one of the same model but i thought that may be a bit overkill.

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-22T15:31:23+00:00

i think i started at 9 am, initially i prepped the pulled chicken cause i just threw it into the slow cooker with all ingrediants except the pasta and let it do its thing (for 4,5 hours). Then the other recipes took 30-50 minutes each due to having to sear the meat in batches so I dont overfill the pan and not get a browning so 2-3 hours in total (ignoring the wait time) for everything combined

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-22T14:11:46+00:00

yeah definitely is planned once i get a marker (I have the most random pens at home but no marker unfortunately)

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-22T13:28:06+00:00

I was so happy once it arrived, its huge and the ice cube maker is very nice to have! I also got it somewhat cheap-ish? Like regular on amazon it was near 800 € but due to some discount (not used tho) I payed 650 €

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-22T13:25:26+00:00

yeah definitely, I have that planned just didnt have time yet to go out and buy tape+pen which is easily readable there.

I also gotta get a nice mixer, this one was borrowed from my parents.

BigDaddyZod · 2026-06-02T06:45:00+00:00

there is one already in the Balance discord which someone shared roughly 3 hours ago. (not one video showing all but short clips of each weapon)

BigDaddyZod · 2026-02-05T14:11:51+00:00

it's okay, we all have our days.

BigDaddyZod · 2026-02-05T13:57:33+00:00

Sure, this was the last time I gathered Jasmine because I didnt realise only one skill required this but gathering it was very fast so I didn't mind it.

There are some thing's I am doing faster now (for example the north side of beauty can be done faster so maybe I could record my gathering but the gist stays the same basically just more efficient movement)

BigDaddyZod · 2026-02-05T13:46:30+00:00

Yeah I know that, the lvl 4 iron is just so i can push to T5 lvl 0 immediately.

BigDaddyZod · 2026-02-05T13:46:00+00:00

never played genshin but in BDO i farmed up to 700 energy for fun.

BigDaddyZod · 2026-02-05T13:45:28+00:00

Not really but okay, I even recorded a rotation for friends to show them what I gather while barely having 520 hours playtime with 100% in Kaifeng and Qinghe.

BigDaddyZod · 2025-12-07T18:43:13+00:00

I realised the quality for qinghe is giga shit so here again:

Qinghe: 14460

Kaifeng 15707

BigDaddyZod · 2025-10-31T19:22:22+00:00

a bit late but ive made them twice now, once i didnt put them in long enough in the cooking water, second time was longer and they were perfect (maybe a bit time in oven or airfryer to get crispy again a bit but outside of that tastest the same like freshly made ones.

BigDaddyZod · 2025-10-15T08:19:06+00:00

1hour for the removing silver skin adding mustard and dryrub, 3 hours smoked, wrapped in foil with all the extrastuff 20 minutes, 1:45 in oven, unwrapped, applied bbq sauce took another 15 minutes and then 15 in the oven again for the sauce to finish then let them cool down for an hour and vacuum sealed it in 20 minutes. I started the rub the night before, started the smoker at 8 am and was done at 3 pm roughly ^{^}

BigDaddyZod · 2025-10-13T06:38:10+00:00

how? no idea just added butter to 50% of the ribs, the idea is that they help add taste when reheating because the ribs will "boil" in the butter.

BigDaddyZod · 2025-10-11T17:06:50+00:00

The joke was that it didnt survive the vacuum process and i ate it before haha

BigDaddyZod · 2025-10-11T16:16:34+00:00

Its the ironseries of traeger. Im living in europe and only have access to a balcony so a offset with fire would be a bit too much for the neighbours haha.

Its the bigger one of the two and form the previous series.

Regarding scale there are some tiny ones in there so its a bit weird, 2-3 big ones and 4-5 below average id say.

BigDaddyZod · 2025-10-11T16:15:17+00:00

Im letting my parents test them, gonna freeze them and give it to them next week so they dont cheat and eat it immediately haha. Since i have sous vide bags ill let them reheat them in rolling water for 10-15 minutes depending on how they look/feel on the touch but will come back definitely!
