I want to start batch cooking to save time during the week. What are some good meals to start with?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Great idea! Some popular batch cooking meals include chili, pasta sauce, and roasted vegetables. They're easy to make in large quantities and can be used in a variety of dishes.<|im_end|>

That sounds good. Do you have any tips for reheating and storing these meals?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, I do. When reheating, make sure to heat the food to a safe temperature of 165°F (74°C). For storing, use airtight containers and label them with the date and contents. You can store them in the fridge for up to 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.<|im_end|>
