What cookware do you actually use for meal prep?

If you’re someone who meal preps (or just likes to cook enough food to avoid cooking again tomorrow), what pieces in your kitchen end up doing most of the work?

We made a guide with some of our favorite tools for batch cooking, and here are the stand outs:

  • Dutch Oven: soups, stews, braises and anything you want to make a LOT of at once
  • Griddle: a ton of surface area for cooking proteins or veggies without doing 4 separate batches
  • Sheet Pan: probably the easiest answer for roasting a whole meal at once
  • Stock Pot: pasta, big batches of grains/veg, soups, etc.

Full guide here if you want to see the rest:
