Meal Prep Tips That Actually Help
A few practical habits make the whole routine smoother:

- Warm bowls before assembling hot dinners so everything stays hot longer.
- Batch-cook your eggs on Sunday so weeknight dinners start halfway done.
- Cook a big pot of grains at the same time to pair with eggs all week.
- Steam vegetables in the cooker tray while eggs cook below to save time and dishes.
- Store dinner components separately and assemble fresh for the best texture.
Storage and Reheating Notes
Keep cooked eggs refrigerated and use hard-boiled eggs within a week, peeled eggs within 3 to 4 days. Marinated eggs keep 3 to 4 days in their brine in a sealed container. Store meal-prep components separately when possible and combine just before eating for the best texture. Always transport egg-based meals with an ice pack.
