FAQ
Common questions about cube recipes and freezer meal prep.QWhat is a cube recipe?
AA cube recipe is a meal component designed to be cooked in bulk, portioned into silicone cube trays, and frozen. Each cube is a single serving. Mix and match cubes from the freezer to build a balanced meal in minutes, no cooking required on busy weeknights.
QWhat size cube tray do I need?
AMost recipes use ½ cup cubes, which are a generous single serving for proteins, carbs, and vegetables. Sauces and condiments work well in ¼ cup cubes. Silicone trays in these sizes are widely available online and in kitchenware stores.
QHow long do frozen cubes last?
AMost cooked proteins, vegetables, and grains keep well for 2–3 months in the freezer. Sauces and legumes can last up to 3–4 months. Label everything with the date. A marker on a piece of tape works fine.
QHow do I reheat cubes?
AThe simplest method is to move a day's worth of cubes from the freezer to the fridge the night before. By mealtime they are thawed and ready to reheat in a pan, microwave, or oven. You can also reheat from frozen — just add a few extra minutes.
QDo I need a prep plan to use the recipes?
ANo — every recipe stands on its own. The prep planner is optional: it helps you organise which recipes to batch cook each week and generates a shopping list. You can use the recipes without ever touching the planner.
QWhat is the Prep Planner?
AA lightweight batching dashboard. Add recipes you want in rotation, set quantities, and it becomes your “what to cook next” list.
QWhat does “Add to Prep Plan” do?
AIt adds the recipe to your active plan and tracks a quantity, so you can scale your next cook-up and keep a steady rotation.
QDo I need to plan meals exactly?
ANo. Plan components (protein, carb, veg, sauce). Mix-and-match later. Planning components beats planning exact meals.
QWhat is “Track My Freezer”?
AA simple inventory of how many cubes you have per recipe, so you can see what meals you can assemble immediately.
QHow do I add cubes to my freezer inventory?
AFrom any recipe page, use “Add to Freezer” and enter how many cubes you froze. If you already have that recipe in stock, it increments the count.
QHow do I remove cubes when I eat them?
AOn the Freezer page, tap − as you use cubes. It keeps stock accurate and tells you what to batch next.
QWhat does the standard configuration formula mean?
AThe default is 1:1:1:1 — one protein + one carb + one veg + one sauce = one complete meal. It’s a starting point, not a rule.
