Turning Up The Heat

There is more than one way of doing nearly everything on the planet, so cooking is no different. Whether you have a full-sized oven, a toaster oven, a gas stovetop, or a hotplate, you can prepare an at home meal delivery kit with ease. Recipes will give directions to heat the oven, or to cook in a skillet pan over low heat, so use your best judgment based upon what type of equipment you are working with. Typically, you will not see directions requiring microwaving of any ingredients.

For the most part, kitchen appliances required for at home meal delivery kits will be those which allow an ability to bake, roast, or sauté the included ingredients. You will not need to go out and buy a bunch of random kitchen gadgets to throw together your meals, just to leave them on the shelf to collect dust for the next 10 years. Good news, you can leave the ‘As Seen On TV’ items out of the equation.

Pots and Pans

Are you sick of the pile of dishes that always seem to accumulate every time dinner is over? With meal delivery, a lot of the meals are designed to be very user friendly and require minimal kitchen equipment. Most at home meals delivery services pre-portion the meal ingredients for you, so there is no need to measure out specific quantities. Cutting ingredients usually is not required with at home meal delivery kits and products either.

For the most part, you will want to have on hand the most basic kitchen pots and pans. Any sized sheet pan that can go into the oven, a standard skillet or sauté pan, and occasionally a small saucepot may be needed for items such as pasta or rice. You will need less pots and pans for the entire process, all geared towards helping to save you valuable time.

Kitchen Utensils

The great part about the ingredients from these at home meal delivery kits is that they are literally ready to go when you receive them. You do not need to dice, chop or mince since the work has already been done for you. You will want to jump up and down with joy, maybe even attempt that long-overdue cartwheel when you realize the amount of time you are going to save every with at home meal delivery services.

The kitchen utensils you will need to prepare your meals are very minimal, any type of cooking spoon or cooking tongs, and a regular offset spatula for tasks such as cooking fish. We find that a good pair of tongs can become your all-in-one cooking utensil if you are comfortable enough to use tongs for everything from stirring to flipping foods over.

Pantry Items

If you are not one to enjoy scrubbing pots and pans at the end of the evening, you may want to consider some basic pantry items or dry goods to keep on hand. Whatever you can do to maximize the amount of time you are able to save on preparing at home meal deliveries is another plus in the win category! There is one pantry item that stands out amongst the rest and is the true star of the show when it comes to preparing meal delivery dishes, a good quality aluminum foil.

Most of the meal delivery service recipe card instructions will tell you aluminum foil is not necessary to prepare the dish, however not scrubbing a dirty sheet pan at the end of the night is sometimes necessary. Why scrub a pan when you could be watching your favorite show instead. A good quality aluminum foil can also be used to fashion a lid for a saucepot as well if you do not have a lid handy, or if you do not want to wash a lid. Makes you wonder what else aluminum foil could be used for?
