Brad discusses his preference for buying food in bulk from stores like Costco due to the cost savings. He emphasizes the importance of proper storage to prevent food spoilage, particularly with fruits and vegetables.
Brad outlines his favorite Costco purchases, including frozen meats like chicken thighs and pork tenderloins, which he finds economical and flavorful. He advises against freezing fish unless properly vacuum sealed due to the risk of degradation in taste. For fresh fruits and vegetables, Brad recommends washing and prepping them to extend their shelf life, particularly berries, which he treats with vinegar or baking soda to remove dirt and pests.
Regarding cooking and meal prepping, Brad highlights three key appliances: the air fryer, the Instant Pot, and the Sous Vide. He shares tips for using each appliance, such as dry brining frozen chicken for juiciness, cooking pork tenderloins in the Instant Pot, and utilizing the Sous Vide for precise temperature control and flavor retention in meats and fish.
Additionally, Brad discusses cost-effective protein options like turkey jerky and bone broth, recommending budget-friendly alternatives available at stores like Vons, Albertsons, and Trader Joe's.
