Home Cooks Review: The Easy Way to Cook

The home chef said for a long time I have chosen very well great food for beginner cooks. I tried this project for the first time in 2020, when eating utensils became popular due to the epidemic. And after another week of testing, I think it’s the best option for anyone who wants to get cookin’ with a little advice.

The first thing you’ll notice when you open the Home Chef collection is how easy it is to install everything. Each meal is placed in a plastic bag with a zipper, proteins that arrive sealed in their own packet. I filled my refrigerator door with precious ingredients for dinner. When it came time to try the recipe, I just grabbed a bag and the right amount of protein. I have a shared fridge that is messy even at the best of times, so I appreciated being able to grab everything quickly and put it on my counter instead of scrambling for leftovers to find dirty vegetables or a packet of soup.

What sets Home Chef apart from many other food tools are its recipe cards, which are some of the most detailed I’ve seen. At the front, there is a list of ingredients you must have, including a list of what you must provide. Usually it’s olive oil, salt, pepper, and maybe aluminum foil. There is also a list of kitchen items you need. It’s not perfect – for example, you may need to bring a measuring cup or cooking utensils – but it’s a good place to start. And I really appreciate the “Cook Inside…” section and shows how to cook- or freeze-with dates, which will help you prioritize dishes that arrive so you don’t run the risk of the ingredients going bad. There is also a chart with reminders of the meat’s internal temperature, including complexity and amount of spice.

Home Chef menu every week have filters for your preferences and dietary needs such as carb considerations, calorie counts, and vegetarian options. The dishes are divided into groups, such as Oven-Ready (meals that come with a tray and are prepared in the oven), Culinary Collection (meals with more ingredients and cooking methods), Express (meals that take 30 minutes or less to cook). ), etc. There are toppings and toppings to choose from, such as breakfast muffins, rolls, or desserts. Some meals are customizable, allowing you to choose different proteins, double the protein, or increase the protein.
