Where I live there’s lots of pre-washed, frozen vegetables at supermarkets. We have an automated pressure cooker where we can just throw the vegs in and let them steam for 7-8 minutes. We have a huge freezer and can quickly prepare brokkoli, spinach, carrots, peas, mushrooms, etc. You can also pressure cook potatoes with the peel on, takes ca 20m including warmup time.


> We have a huge freezer

Ah, yeah – I have a very small one. I've been thinking about upgrading for years to a chest freezer. It's probably time to just do it.


Can recommend. We went for a vertical one (Bosch GSN33VWEP) because we didn’t have enough room for a chest, plus we thought that the UX is better - and I still think it is.


Wow, thanks for the tip! I had no idea that's even a thing, and I have the perfect spot to put one. I can't believe I didn't think to even look these up. Part of my hesitation with a chest freezer was where I'd put it, because I'd almost certainly need to keep it outside (which means building an enclosure, getting power to it, etc).

Thanks!


Glad to help! If you‘ll take another tip, I‘d recommend to get a „no frost“ one (if they are available in your area). We had „low frost“ ones before and had to defrost them every couple months, which can be a real hassle when it’s currently full. The „no frost“ usually really means you never have to defrost.
