Got questions?

  • How long do freezer meals last? Most freezer meals stay fresh for 6-12 months when properly stored in airtight freezer bags or containers. Slow cooker freezer meals with meat are best used within 3 months for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Do I need to thaw freezer meals before slow cooking? For food safety, most slow cooker freezer meals should be thawed overnight in the refrigerator before cooking. However, some dump-and-go meals can be cooked from frozen by adding 2-3 hours to the cook time on low.
  • What containers should I use for freezer meal prep? Gallon-size freezer bags work best for slow cooker freezer meals - they lay flat for easy storage and allow you to squeeze out air. For non-liquid meals, reusable silicone bags or freezer-safe containers are great eco-friendly options.
  • Can I double recipes for freezer meal prep? Absolutely! Doubling is the heart of batch cooking. Make one to eat now and freeze the second. EasyPZ automatically scales recipes and shopping lists when you batch multiple meals.
