Bringing food to work has become a daily routine for many office workers. Will it really save money?

There is no doubt that bringing your own food is both economical and healthy. Beipiao has been taking food for a year.

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 rice and oil are relatively good. I only eat first-class or super-class Wuchang rice. Avocado oil and soy sauce vinegar are additive-free, and these purchases are basically at the average consumption level. Even so, eating is very economical. If nothing happens, I can assure you that the food I use is better than 90% restaurants in 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 buying food 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 if the prepared dishes are frozen, it is best to be relatively fresh.

The second point: health

Now technology and efforts are inevitable, and it is always good to reduce the intake of these chemical additives as much as possible by cooking by yourself. The so-called good goods are not cheap, whether online or offline or take-away. Every link needs to make money before 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, and whether the raw materials are of high quality. 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. Eating in the microwave on the same day is no different from cooking. (rice? )

I get home at 7 o'clock in the evening, and I wash dishes-cook-wash dishes. It can be solved at 7: 30, and sometimes simple dishes are faster. It's really easy to set aside half an hour to cook every day. Some people say that I am too tired to go home and have no time. When you go home, you can put down your mobile phone, brush a few less Tik Tok, and have a healthy meal the next day, which Tik Tok can't bring you money and health.

A working meal for a day.

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. You don't need to be very detailed, just think about what you want to eat first. I want to eat beef, vermicelli and so on. Then go to the kitchen and see what you can do according to these. (30 minutes is enough, rather than struggling every day, it is better to struggle all night. )

My experience is that the raw materials of two meat dishes are actually enough to eat for 3-4 days. For example, I want to eat cumin beef, and the little lump of beef you bought in the market is actually enough for you to cook two meals. After deciding what to buy, if I prepare a dish, my habit is to match the ingredients needed for a dish.

Meat:

Cut, soak, blanch (you can omit it, I can blanch the stew, other cooking is too much trouble for me), bacon (you can omit it, three sets of cooking wine, shallots 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 before freezing (don't thaw them before cooking, they will rot after thawing, just put them in the pot after freezing)

Like tomatoes, which are watery vegetables, 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 when I go home every day. No microwave oven can thaw them in the refrigerator the night before. After cooking, put it directly in the refrigerator and take it away at work in the morning.

4. What if you can't cook?

The way to 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, when searching for "prepare food in a week" on major platforms, there will be many exquisite foods. How do you prepare food, Bishop Bo? They will be more professional and meticulous.

Experience summary:

As a renter in Beipiao, I sum up some experiences of learning food bloggers.

About exquisite tableware and kitchen utensils;

You can't imagine how useful it is, because most of them are bloggers or housewives. Compared with migrant workers, they have no particularly strong demand for saving energy and time. You should consider how to clean it realistically. I bought a basket for throwing vegetables. I only have a few vegetables. 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. I used it twice and never used it again.

Scope of application:

I bought a cleaning board specially used for planing cabbage. I didn't eat salad after using it several times. It is also idle. Including the towel gourd grater, you can carefully recall how many times you had the opportunity to eat filamentous vegetables, which were almost useless when you bought them. But friends who like eating silk are very useful.

Contents of dishes:

Some treasure mothers are responsible for the family's rations, and some need to cook three meals. And man is his home! ! ! 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.

I met a particularly big thunder, that is, reusable fresh-keeping bags. You packed meat or pickles, which is too difficult to clean. In order to deodorize, 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, so don't overestimate your diligence and underestimate your cooking ability. So I don't like to share what I often use. I only recommend it when it is particularly useful, otherwise I will explode haha.
