Review: Amazon meal kits offer easy dinners — for a price
Amazon meal kits offer easy dinners — for a price
SEATTLE (AP) — Amazon's new ready-to-eat meal package is the perfect recipe for someone who doesn't have enough time to shop and cook, yet has a healthy appetite and a need for balanced meals.
The meal kit was the size of a loaf of bread, but it came in a heavy bag that resembled a large paper grocery bag.
Inside was a silver insulated bag, nestled inside a cardboard frame, and six ice packs.
All I needed were a few pots and pans, a knife and some vegetable oil.
Everything else was provided, including some sesame oil in a tiny container to saute my veggies.
Once done, I arranged the noodles, edamame and salmon on plates and sprinkled each with asparagus, mushrooms, scallions and sesame seeds.
Amazon offers free delivery for orders over $40, but you lose freshness if you buy multiple meals at once.
AmazonFresh also has light bulbs and laundry soap.
[...] knowing I needed a few groceries and dinner, I went on AmazonFresh early Friday and was able to secure an evening delivery.
