5 tips and tricks to help you slay your weekly meal prep

With back-to-school season in full swing and office work picking up speed, it can seem like there aren’t enough hours in the day. Between commuting, cooking meals, keeping active, and managing family time, something usually ends up being neglected. One way to make things a little easier? Streamlining how you handle meal prep.

Whirlpool’s Smart Electric Range and French Door Refrigerator, in particular, are two kitchen appliances that will upgrade the way you prepare meals, giving you back some much-needed time.

Here are some of the ways you can simplify meal prep.

Skip the scrubbing

A messy kitchen is the sign of a delicious meal. But just because something splatters or spills doesn’t mean you should have to struggle with the cleaning up, or the harsh chemicals that can come with it.

The Smart Electric Range’s WipeClean™ Coating allows you to clean with ease, using only water. Talk about magic in the kitchen!

Try making: Skillet Parmesan chicken, beef stew, or vegetable stir fry

Bake once, eat all week

One of the elements that makes the Smart Electric Range so unique is its air cooking technology, which makes baking evenly on multiple racks a piece of cake (no pun intended). What makes baked goods so convenient for meal prep is that they typically store and reheat well, lasting you through the week.

Try making: Baked oatmeal, egg muffin cups, or chicken mac and cheese

Start cooking when you’re not even home

Not at home? Not a problem. With the Smart Electric Range, you can use your smartphone to get dinner going by remotely preheating the oven.

There’s also a handy feature that lets you use a voice-enabled device to adjust cook time or temperature with a spoken command.

Try making: Chicken pot pie, birria tacos, or lasagna

Work with a time crunch

When time’s tight, every shortcut counts. The Range’s no-preheat air fry mode delivers hot, crispy results using less oil than standard deep frying — and without the wait.

Try making: Air fryer pizza, teriyaki salmon bowl, or crispy chickpea salad

Maximize your fridge space

It’s all fun and games until you run out of fridge space. Get family-sized capacity with the Whirlpool® 30 Cu. Ft. French door refrigerator that’s designed with the modern family in mind — you can fit all sorts of meal prep in this bad boy.

Try making: Make-ahead smoothie packs, adult bento boxes, or salad jars

Whether you’re planning for the school week, looking to ensure long-lasting freshness, or need a kitchen that works as hard as you do, the right appliances can make all the difference.
