Terms of Use

Last updated: September 21, 2026

By accessing and using The Cooked Meal (the "Site"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

This is not a store

TheCookedMeal.store is a recipe website. The .store domain refers to storing cooked food in a freezer, which is what this site is about; it does not indicate an online store. We sell no products, take no orders, process no payments, and ship nothing. Any page appearing to offer goods for sale under this name is not operated by us.

Use of content

Recipes, freezer labels, text, graphics, and design elements on this Site are provided for personal, non-commercial use. You may share links to our pages, but may not republish, redistribute, or reproduce substantial portions of our content without prior written permission.

Freezer times are guidance

Storage times and reheat instructions reflect our own testing in a standard home freezer running at 0 degrees F. Freezers vary, door temperatures fluctuate, and packaging matters. Treat our figures as guidance, follow the food-safety points in our Disclaimer, and discard anything you are unsure about.

No professional advice

Recipes and calorie estimates are general information only and are not medical, dietary, or nutritional advice.

Third-party advertising and links

The Site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other networks, and may link to third-party websites. Advertisements are clearly distinguishable from our recipe content. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the products, services, or content of advertisers or external sites.

User conduct

You agree not to misuse the Site, including attempting to disrupt its operation, scraping content at scale, or using it for unlawful purposes.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We test every batch, but cannot guarantee identical results in every kitchen or every freezer.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Cooked Meal shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Site.

Changes

We may revise these terms at any time; continued use after posting constitutes acceptance.
