With searches for 'batch cooking ideas' up by 180% between 2021 and 2024*, it's clear that batch cooking is bigger than ever. From Joe Swash's new Channel 4 series Batch from Scratch: Cooking for Less to Nadiya Hussain's Cook Once, Eat Twice, TV shows and social media are packed with inspiration on how to cook in bulk, save money, and make mealtimes easier. But while batch cooking is a brilliant way to cut food waste and grocery costs, storing meals properly is key—and that's where the BORA QVac built-in vacuum sealer comes in.

Designed to keep food fresh for up to three times longer, the BORA QVac makes batch cooking even more effective by vacuum-sealing meals, ingredients, and even liquids in bags, boxes, or bottles—helping food stay fresher, tastier, and more organised in the fridge or freezer.

5 Top Tips for Batch Cooking Success

1. Plan Like a Pro – Choose recipes that freeze and reheat well, such as stews, curries, and soups. Prepping multiple meals at once saves time and cuts food waste.
2. Invest in the Right Storage – Keeping food fresh is just as important as cooking it. Vacuum-sealing with the BORA QVac locks in freshness, prevents freezer burn, and saves fridge space.
3. Cool Before Storing – Let hot food cool completely before freezing to maintain flavour and texture and prevent condensation from spoiling meals.
4. Label Everything – Date and label meals so you know what's inside and use them before expiry. Vacuum-sealing in transparent boxes or bags with the BORA QVac makes organisation even easier.
5. Maximise Flavour – Use vacuum sealing for marinating meat, infusing sauces, and even preparing sous vide meals—all possible with the BORA QVac's versatile design.

"With food prices rising, batch cooking is back in vogue," says Andy Cummings, Head of Sales UK at BORA. "The BORA QVac built-in vacuum sealer takes it to the next level—helping home cooks store meals efficiently, cut down on food waste, and make the most of their ingredients."

The BORA QVac (RRP £395 incl. VAT) is available in All Black or Stainless Steel and can be seamlessly integrated into any kitchen.
