1. Non-Stick Frying Pan/Wok
When cooking your own food, it’s important to have a large non-stick frying pan/wok, as you will be cooking so much it will become like a third hand. Make sure you choose non-Teflon, heavy based pan as less harmful chemicals will leech into your food, it will last longer and the heat distribution is superb.
We recommend a minimum of 10 inches.
2. Multi-level steamer
If eating raw veg is too much for you (as it is for most of us) then steaming is the next best thing. Steaming your veggies will reduce the loss of nutrients from the veggies in comparison to boiling or roasting. (Avoid microwaving when possible)
We recommend a stainless steel ¾ tier steamer with rubber handles which helps avoid unnecessary burns, and be careful taking the lid off straight after steaming.
3. Blender
Blenders are essential for creating beautiful marinades, soups, making post workout smoothies and delicious healthy desserts. If you do not want to use a greens powder, which we recommend, then you can make your own fresh juices.
Try- Kale, Spinach, Ginger, Cucumber and Apple for a refreshing antioxidant boost.
We recommend a minimum of 1,5Litres, multi speed and high quality. You can get a good one for just under £100.
4. Food Storage
If you use the Sunday ritual or pre-cook your foods every evening for the next day, then good Tupper ware and food bags are essential. Ideally you would use Pyrex glass containers, but these can be heavy and impractical. Ensure you get BPA free Tupper ware to stop chemicals leeching into your foods.
We recommend x12 (1.1L) Addis clip and close containers
If you are pre chopping veggies then get some medium zip lock bags to store them in to speed up the cooking process. You can also marinate meats with herbs and spices in these overnight to enhance flavour.
5. Baking Pans
If you follow a Sunday ritual or cook every day and want to do large batches of proteins, then we suggest getting 3L Glass Baking trays so you can cook in bulk and save yourself time and effort.
