Amazon Order-21 Day Challenge: February 2020

The below items are recommended kitchen tools for use in the February 2020 Prep Dish Challenge. All links are directed to Amazon for your convenience.

Containers

If you're new to Prep Dish, you'll likely need to stock on nice glass storage containers to keep your meal prep fresh! I love the rectangle Glasslock containers, I'd stock up on several of these and/or just buy 4-6 of these large containers (I have a mix of small & large but definitely use more large-sized containers). Once you have your containers, I have a video on how to organize them or check out this system!

Labels

If you buy nothing else, I highly recommend buying a set of labels to use for leftovers meal portions you'll be storing in the freezer.

Quality Chef's KnifeLarch Bamboo Cutting Board

This duo is a must to keep Prep Day quick!

 

Meat Thermometer

The only way to know for sure your chicken (pork, chicken, etc.) is cooked through!

Food Processor

(use for Almond Butter & Cherry Cookies)
A good food processor can make things like shredding & chopping a breeze. This is the model I've used for years.

Slow Cooker

(can use for Brisket or any soups!)
If you don't have a slow cooker, here's one I recommend. There are multiple meals in the challenge that can easily be prepared in a slow cooker (and limit the time you are in the kitchen for prep day).

Crockpot / Slowcooker

Instant Pot

(Can use with brisket or soups)

The Instant Pot cooks things in half the time it takes on the stove top. It works much like a slow cooker, but opposite…fast!

 

Microplane/Zester

(use with Lemon Caper Cod)
To easily zest citrus, I love using my microplane. Quick and easy!

Juicer

(use with Lemon Caper Cod & Mexican Salad)
To optimize your citrus juice (and make your life easier), I recommend a hand juicer. And it keeps the seeds out too!

Muffin Tin (standard or silicone)

(use with Banana Walnut Muffins)
A staple in my kitchen is a muffin tin. This tool will allow you to portion out the frittatas and muffins for a quick grab and go in the morning. For the standard, the parchment liners below make clean-up a breeze.

Parchment Muffin Liners

(use with Banana Walnut Muffins)
These muffin liners are my favorite! Helps evenly cook and you can use them for the frittatas and muffins in the challenge.

Some other favorites of mine include:

Spiralizer

(use with Shrimp & Mushrooms over Zoodles)

If you're on the Whole 30, you'll want this spiralizer to make veggie noodles. (bonus, it's under $20 and my favorite model)

Rice Maker

This doesn't apply to my Paleo or Whole 30 friends, but everyone else, if you are not using a rice cooker, this is a MUST-Buy for you! Before using a rice cooker, I used to burn my rice all.the.time. Seriously, these machines make it fool proof. It also works great for quinoa. This challenge uses rice as an option so it's a perfect time to try it out!

Just like with the crockpot, I prefer to the manual off/ on switch vs the digital versions and again, much cheaper that way! Make sure you get a stainless steel version vs non-stick to avoid harmful chemicals found in non-stick/ teflon.
