Our Prep Day Tip
For a smooth Prep Day, a few practical helpers are indispensable. Mixing bowls with glass lids are especially important. They are excellent for storing marinades, dressings, or prepared ingredients without them drying out or mixing. Stainless steel mixing bowls are particularly robust and durable, and also hygienic and dishwasher-safe – perfect for the whole week.
Another essential helper in your kitchen is the wood fiber cutting board. It is antibacterial, gentle on knives, and can even be cleaned in the dishwasher. This allows vegetables, herbs, or other ingredients to be prepared particularly hygienically and comfortably.
Tip: Prepare sauces like Miso Dressing or Chili Crunch directly in the mixing bowls with lids, then you can portion them immediately and store them in the refrigerator.
