Batch Cooking? Sort Your Freezer Drawer First

Batch cooking only saves time if you can find what you froze three weeks ago. A sorted freezer drawer, with bags that actually hold up, makes that possible.

The system

• 2 Litre bags for portions, sauces, soups
• 4 Litre bags for bulk batches, bigger meals, family sized portions
• Label and date every bag before it goes in, this is the step most people skip

Why the bag itself matters

Our freezer bags are made and tested to be food, fridge and freezer safe, which means they hold up without splitting or going brittle in the cold. That's the thing that actually ruins a batch cooking session, not the recipe.

A tidy drawer changes the habit

When the drawer is sorted by bag size instead of a jumble of shapes, you can actually see what you have. That's usually the difference between batch cooking becoming a habit and it fizzling out after one attempt.

Being straight about what these bags are

These bags are food, fridge and freezer safe, Vegetarian Society approved, and made by a certified B Corporation. We're not describing them as certified compostable, since the finished product certification for this specific range is still in progress. We'd rather tell you that plainly than round the claim up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can freezer bags be reused?

If they're clean, dry and undamaged, yes, though for raw meat or fish we'd recommend a fresh bag each time for food safety.

What size freezer bag should I use for soup portions?

The 2 Litre bag is the right size for individual or small family soup and sauce portions. Use the 4 Litre for larger batches.

Are these freezer bags certified compostable?

Not yet. They're food, fridge and freezer safe, but the finished product compostability certification for this range is still in progress, so we don't make that claim until it's confirmed.
