Does anyone have experience with meal kits
I doubt it (lovingly) but figured i’d ask for reviews regardless :joy_cat:

I need to start cooking more but i’m so bad at it and might motivate myself more if i had pre-selected and pre-portioned shit idk lol

it varies significantly on the brand. overall they tend to be a bit less good overall then regular ingredients, but i rather guessed you suspected that

i’m afraid most of us aren’t in the economical class, yes

My family used them for a bit, they were consistenly decent but nothing exceptional, once you use them for a bit it’s like ā€œok well I can just go to the store and buy thisā€

Probably good for getting into cooking

It does help to having cooking skills, so you don’t have to rely on takeaway food too much. The quality of which can be questionable.

FTR I got into cooking from very little without them, mostly by asking my family/friends for recipes I’d already eaten and using those. If you don’t want to spend the money on the meal kits then that works too

My girlfriend and I actually just started making a recipe notebook so we could have them all physically

IIRC some do free trials and just getting through the free trial is probaly enough to feel decently comfortable with cooking tbhtbhtbhtbh at least for me it wasn’t long before I felt fine with arbitrary recipes

I still hate cooking large cuts of meat but tbh probably mostly because our oven seems to like omega suck? Roasting brussels sprouts takes half the time in my oven at my parents’ house. I tried to broil chicken at my apartment and it was a nightmare

Also our chicken breasts are like fucking H cups you can butterfly them and they’re still massive

hey guysss if i was the judge and jury and i had to decide your fate would you be mad at me if i gave you life sentence without parole for your crimes cause i was forced to be in the situation of issuing judgement and it’s better for a guilty person to face the consequences of their actions than an innocent one
