Let's talk about the most important thing first: saving money.
Buying vegetables and adding fruits every month can be controlled at around 600. The premise is that you have to go to the vegetable market to buy it. In fact, online app shopping is not too expensive. The most important thing is that it is not easy to control the quantity, and it will send a lot at a time, which will cause great waste, especially vegetables can not be eaten for a long time and rot quickly.
My own daily necessities are better. I only eat first-class or super-class Wuchang rice for rice, avocado oil for oil, and soy sauce vinegar without additives. These purchases are basically at the average consumption level. Even so, eating is very economical. If nothing else, I can guarantee that the food I use is more delicious than 90% restaurants on the market.
Half-year expenditure
Personally, I eat very well, and I don't deliberately choose cheap dishes, such as ribs, steak and salmon.
Details of shopping in July
Because a person eats, even if you buy expensive beef and mutton, the price is really cheap because of the small amount. Don't overestimate your appetite! Buying more vegetables is a waste! Meat can also be frozen, even the prepared dishes are frozen, preferably relatively fresh.
The second point: health
Now technology and hard work are inevitable, and it is always good to cook by yourself and minimize the intake of these chemical additives. The so-called good goods are not cheap, whether online or offline or take-away. Every link needs to make money, and the final product will be delivered to us.
Many friends spend money to save 30 minutes to go home and cook, but they don't guarantee the health of food, such as whether the additives exceed the standard, whether the chef's operation is really clean and hygienic, whether the raw materials are of high quality and so on. But cooking by yourself, at least from material selection to production to finished products, is well known. As for the problem of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables, it is inevitable and better than pesticide residues+additives+preservatives.
Based on the above two points, I would like to introduce the experience of bringing meals for your reference.
First of all, about the time and energy spent on cooking:
I usually spend about 2 hours preparing food on Sunday.
Prepare vegetables within a week.
Rice? Cook it one week in advance (about 4 barrels and a half meters), package it and freeze it directly. There is no difference between eating in the microwave and cooking that day. (rice? )
When you get home at 7 pm, washing dishes-cooking-washing dishes can be solved at 7: 30, and sometimes simple dishes will be faster. It's really easy to set aside half an hour to cook every day. Some people say that I am so tired when I go home that I have no time. When you get home, put down your mobile phone and brush a few less Tik Tok, and you can eat healthy meals the next day, which is both money-saving and healthy, which Tik Tok can't give you.
A day's work meal.
Second, the operation method: how to prepare dishes?
First of all, you need to think about what to eat next week the day before you go shopping. It doesn't need to be very detailed, just think about what you want to eat first. I want to eat beef, vermicelli and the like. Then go to the kitchen and see what you can cook from these. (30 minutes is enough, instead of struggling every day, it is better to struggle all night. )
My experience is that the raw materials of two meat dishes are actually enough for 3-4 days. For example, I want to eat cumin beef. The small lump of beef you bought in the market is actually enough for you to cook two meals. After deciding what to buy in a menu, if I prepare a dish, my habit is to match the ingredients needed for a dish.
Meat:
Cut, soak, blanch (you can omit, I can blanch the stew, other cooking is too much trouble for me), bacon (you can omit, three-piece cooking wine, onion and ginger can be removed. This is still adjusted according to personal tastes or recipes), frozen. Thaw it every night before cooking.
Vegetables:
I'm still used to cleaning leafy vegetables and freezing them first (don't thaw them before cooking, they will rot after thawing, just freeze them and put them in the pot)
I like moist vegetables, such as tomatoes, and I will cut them on the same day. I will also eat tomato-related dishes in the first few days of the week to ensure the freshness of vegetables as much as possible.
The remaining vegetables are washed, cut into pieces and frozen.
Materials for preparing vegetables: I really don't like reusable fresh-keeping bags, which are difficult to clean and dry. Disposable fresh-keeping bags and boxes are best used.
Third, about the preparation before cooking
I thaw meat and vegetables in the microwave every day when I go home. No microwave oven can thaw them in the refrigerator the night before. Put it in the refrigerator and take it away at work in the morning.
4. What if you can't cook?
The way to get into the kitchen 1: 1, don't improvise, follow the tutorial strictly, and you won't make mistakes. A friend asked about the specific operation method. In fact, searching for "preparing food in a week" on major platforms will have many exquisite foods. How do you prepare food, Bishop Bo? They will be more professional and meticulous.
Experience summary:
As a renter of Beipiao, I sum up some experiences of learning food bloggers.
About beautiful tableware and kitchen utensils;
You can't imagine how useful it is, because most of them are bloggers or housewives, and there is no particularly strong need to save energy and time compared with migrant workers. You should be realistic about how to clean it up. I bought a basket for throwing vegetables. I only have a few dishes. I have to wash vegetables and baskets before throwing them, and the filter screen is difficult to wash. It really took 2 seconds to throw food and 5 minutes to clean it up. I used it twice and never used it again.
Scope of application:
I bought a special cleaning board for planing cabbage. I used it several times and didn't eat salad. Also idle. Including the towel gourd grater, you can carefully recall how many times you have had the opportunity to eat filamentous vegetables, and it is almost useless to buy them back. But friends who like eating silk are very useful.
Contents of dishes:
Some treasure mothers are responsible for the food rations at home, and some need to cook three meals. And people are their own homes! ! ! The refrigerator is very big! ! ! (Be sure to consider the accommodation space of the refrigerator) So everyone must consider it according to their living habits. Food is prepared for convenience, not to increase your burden.
I will also prepare onions, ginger and garlic at one time. I have tried the freezing method and garlic sauce method, and the onion, ginger and garlic fresh-keeping box is better.
When I met a particularly big thunder, it was a reusable fresh-keeping bag. You wrapped meat or pickles, it's too difficult to clean. In order to deodorize them, you must use detergent. You can find a bag at home and wash it yourself. I have to figure out how to dry a bag. It takes too much energy. I choose disposable or boxed.
These are the lessons of life experience. Don't overestimate your diligence and underestimate your cooking ability. Therefore, I don't like to share my common things, and only recommend them when they are particularly useful, otherwise I will explode haha.
