Batch cooking + freezing + Count On It labels = save time, money & waste


It is great to hear on GMTV's news today and in the Telegraph, that the public are starting to realise that by batch cooking and freezing, not only are they saving themselves time, they are also making a significant difference to the amount of food they are wasting AND money they are saving. By managing our food better in this way, we always have food 'ready-to-go' and we are also improving our diet, as homecooking doesn't have all the additives that most prepared food contains.

In spite of this, it is still important to remember how long we have had food stored in our freezer, contrary to popular belief, freezing doesn't keep food indefinitely, for example cooked meat and casseroles should only be kept between 2 - 3 months. That is why it is important to be able to track how long food has been stored - that is where Count On It labels come in.

Versatile and easy to use, these scratch-off food freshness memory joggers tell you at a glance how long your food has been stored, so you will be able to track which food needs eating first, helping you manage your food efficiently and safely. www.count-on-it.co.uk
