And the list continues!

I know that there seem to be a lot of items, materials and tools, but actually, you will find that you use them quite often and cleaning them are easy.

Most of them are dishwasher safe (not the timer, stapler and such, lol) so you just use, rinse and load in the dishwasher.

Aren’t these beautiful?

I really feel that having beautiful utensils and kitchen tools is important to make my meal prep more enjoyable.

So here are some awesome ones for you to consider adding to your kitchen.

When it comes to making freezer meals easy to set up, you will need a few unique items that you wouldn’t need, per se, for regular meals.

Some of these items are staplers, printer, labels and such.

Here are some excellent-quality and affordable ones that, once you have them, you will find quite handy.

Other items on this list are staples (regulars) in my kitchen.

I use them almost daily and love them! I love my chopper, garlic press and kitchen shears!

They are wonderful!

Must Have Kitchen Items

A Stapler in case you are freezing 2 bags that go together as a meal.
Staples run out a bit quickly if you use 5 or more per meal prep. I like to have extras handy.
A Printer is needed for those of you that print the instructions on printable sticker labels to put on the bag.
Printable labels are sticks that you can put on the meal bags to know what to eat the meal with and how to cook/bake it.
Sometimes, I use a Permanent marker to just write the oven temperature and bake time on the bag when I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to print labels.
My Anti-fatigue mat has saved my feet and my sanity. I can really tell the difference and actually, I have 3 mats (in front of the sink, in front of the stove and in front of my prep counter).
A Timer is great for when you are making freezer meals in bulk and need to keep track of different foods (in oven, on stove, resting or cooling time, etc).
I highly recommend a Cutting board exclusively for meats.
And also have a Cutting board for veggies only.
Have a variety of cutting knives for cutting different meats, veggies and doughs.
I cannot rave enough about my Chopper. It is a must-have, for sure. Cleaning it is a breeze and so worth having it!
A Garlic press is perfect for freezer meal prep because it saves your hands from being stinky for the rest of the day!
I find that a Garlic peeler is fantastic for when you are using whole clove in meals. It literally takes 5 seconds to peel!
My Kitchen shears are used daily. We use cilantro in every single meal because it is one of our favorite meal complements.
A Music player that is small will save you counter space and also cell battery because mine is always drained when I want to sing and dance while I prep meals. These are affordable and fun to use.
