Vent: used to meal prep 5 days at once, now I cook twice and freeze half
Last month I did the Sunday mega prep thing and by Thursday half the chicken tasted like wet cardboard, so I tossed about $18 of food. Now I cook a big pot on Sunday and Wednesday, eat fresh for 3 days, and freeze the rest in single bags I got for $6 at the dollar store. Anyone got a good trick for keeping rice from getting weird after freezing?

Freezing rice is fine but you gotta spread it out on a sheet pan first and let it cool fast, then bag it while it's still a little cold. If you just dump a hot clump in a bag, the steam turns it into mush when you thaw it. I also add a splash of water and cover it when reheating, keeps it from drying into little rocks lol.
