## Fall is the busy season
Holidays, family birthdays and a work crunch all land in the same months. Food has to get easier, not more elaborate.

> Fall and winter are my busiest seasons of the year.
## Bulk cooking gets messy
Meal prep works, but portioning the results and finding storage that fits is where the whole system falls apart.
## A pan with 18 slots
The Chicago Metallic Slice Solutions pan has a removable divider that cuts a 9x13 bake into 18 pieces, each about three by two inches.
## Not just for brownies
Pour in batter, layer a lasagna, press in a frittata or a snack mix. The divider goes in before the pan goes in the oven.
## Where silicone cubes fall short
Souper Cubes handle soup, rice and sauce well, but chunky food and baked slabs are not what those molds are built for.
## Portions lift straight out
A removable base keeps pieces from sticking, so each block comes out whole and stacks into glass containers or silicone bags.
## Two pans in one
Leave the divider out and it is an ordinary 9x13 tray. It is also dishwasher safe, so cleanup after a bulk cook is short.
## Reviewers back it up
It averages 4.5 stars across more than 2,000 reviews, with buyers saying the price is justified by the time saved cutting and cleaning.

> I love the pull-out tray and the perfect cutter. I love to cut them as soon as they come out of the oven.
## Build the rest of the kit
Pair it with glass containers that have glass lids, reusable silicone bags, or a handheld vacuum sealer to keep frozen portions from burning.
## Key takeaway

A pan with a removable divider does the portioning while the food bakes, which is the slowest part of meal prep.
