How many of us do big batch cooking?
I do sometimes. But not often. I’ve stopped big batch soup making. It’s never as good from the freezer as it is just cooked. I do like to chilli & lasagna ( meat or veg ) big batch. But it doesn’t happen as often as it could.
Yesterday I did a big batch of Staffordshire oatcakes.

35 oatcakes later. 28 made it to the freezer. A couple sampled and some for tea.
When we do casseroles, curry or soup there’s always some left for a second day. If it’s not going to be eaten it gets frozen.
It’s handy to have something that just needs reheating.
I freeze meat in portions big enough for three people with a big of a margin, so when Jay's daughter isn't at home, I have the leftovers for lunch.
I used to batch cook when I lived on my own, but I have less freezer space now. I do still do massive pots of chilli and bolognaise - it just grows in size!
